MWaz Get off your duff challenge

[twilight]

I think I've now caught up on all past photos and all uploads from here on out will be as I progress with this build. Next up was making a backplate for the cab of the H-9. Here is an example of one made by Bowser stamped with an "E" and was made for the E-6, H-9 boiler. It comes with a seated engineer & fireman, Bowser part #1-100612(I've also seen it referenced as 1-100611). Believe it or not, this has been one of the hardest Bowser parts that I've ever tracked down. One can find the backplates for the K-4 and L-1 quite commonly. But I've looked for one of these for years on eBay and just recently won one. As you can see it's not in the greatest of shape but was able to serve as a stencil to make one out of styrene.

Last picture is of the backplate roughed in place.

Later today plan on starting some plumbing details for under the running boards.
