Most NG locos have the backhead nearly at the back of the cab (on some, the backhead even sticks out the back of the cab!). The USRA 0-6-0 boiler I am using has a short cab with the backhead near the front. So, I had another junker 0-6-0 shell in my parts box, cut apart the boiler, took the backhead, and glued it behind the first one. I think I will try and make a few backhead details for this engine, as I think it would greatly improve appearance.
Oh - and I have been using a product called "plastic repair epoxy" from ace hardware to make major structural joints in plastic and gluing metal to plastic. I love the stuff!!
