USRA 2-10-2 light rebuilt

[Schraddel]

Here a bunch of parts have arived:


And some of this parts are destined to the USRA 2-10-2.

A stoker engine was fitted. Instead of soldering i drill and tap and screwed is onto the main frame. Fist coat of paint was applied, especially on the main frame behind the drivers.


A new 7-pole with RM 1.27 plug connection between loco and tender was made.


As you can see i have removed the cab window on the engineers side to represent a fully open cab window. A lever for the power bar was also mounted.


Cab seats were glued in.

So it went to the varnisher.





The next chapter in the life of this USRA 2-10-2:















Yesterday the #57 came back from the varnisher sporting a new coat of paint.
Thee is still something to do on the #57 like glazing the cab windows and assign a crew to her. Note the red upholstery of the cab seats.
And she is still much too clean so she will go to the weathering specialist.
