Well, a couple more pictures to add to the collection of those so far. After re-assembly of the engines, I had looked at the drive shaft work and well, it was something of desire, and I changed it to Athearn "Keyed" slide/adjustable shafting, for both the motor and the articulated joint between the engines.
The Motor is a Cannon Precision Flat Can Motor, thats extremely powerfull and works well for the power house in this Articulated. BUT, due to the angle of the shaft in the picture below, it will be mounted on a slight upward angle to take presure off the shaft, connecting the motor shaft with the worm gear shaft for smooth transmission. This is what it all currently looks like:

The motor here is merely setting on that angle it was slant mounted to reduce the amount of stress on that shaft work!

More to come, The tender is now painted and decalled, and the boiler is painted. I need to add decals to the cab and the painting for the most part will be completed.
