Hi all, it's time for me to toss my hat into the ring.. For this challenge I'm going to complete a stalled project ( i hope ). My two 2-10-0 camelbacks.

As you can see my last post on it was from back in October , just before the hurricane hit. I haven't even looked at it since then, and have plenty to do, and a bunch of supplies to use on them.
The first thing I got to was to mount some stoker motors on the break-man's side of the loco near the fireman's position. These parts are meant for a standard cab loco and not for center-cabs, so I had to alter the Call-Scale castings #190-224 with a Dremel cut off wheel. used a pair of pliers to hold the casting in place while I cut them.
the parts were cut in two so that I could fit them property in the correct position.
I clamped them in position on their brackets and soldered them together
I drilled out the frames for the mounting bracks and glued them in place with some CA.
