Been a while since I posted in this thread, but I haven't had much time to work on it either. So here we go....
The cab is starting to take shape.
The smoke box is also moving along. Cutting the hole in the top of the smokebox for the Feed water heater bundle took a lot of courage, one slip and it would be time to build a whole new smokebox. I have mounted the bracket for the bell and Headlight, I will mount the bell latter as I don't want to lose or damage it as some of the heavier work goes on. I have cut and soldered on new walkways, I'll put diamond treed decals on them when it's gets closer to paint time.
