I expect a little weathering will bring out the wood grain on the pilot beams.

I'm getting anxious to run this locomotive.
As with most of the locomotives I build, its just for the pleasure and satisfaction of doing it.
I added decals today I couldn't decide on a company name so I just numbered it , added builders plates and decal stripes around the windows. The bell, whistle and headlight rings were painted with a gel pen. Then it was clear coated and a light dusting of chalk was added.
I need to do a little fine tuning on the trucks (wheel chatter at low speed) and install the lights. Otherwise its ready to bring some logs off the mountain.
I'll get some better photos later
