Some cyberscratchbuilding later, I almost completed 3D model (some light details to had). I had to fudge some details from a brass SP Southern (coal bunker doors). The rear beam and pilot are a combination of the prototype and a picture of the Quebec Harbour Commission 0-6-0. Both loco were built around the same thing, so I thought at least it was a plausible way to do it.
I now need to "cut" the model in flats. Shouldn't be too hard since I made the 3D model according to the part break down I wished (and also the orientation each part will be "printed").
The underframe is modelled after a P2K 0-8-0 tender but shortened for my needs.
I still feel the "tool" box looks awkward. According to measurement, it should be placed there. But still, looks awful on the slope. I'm not sure a real prototype would have done this. But I can't contradict picture evidence.
