Hey DW: would value your opinion (and others) on a thought I was having. I was considering adding wooden side boards to the top of the tender to allow for more coal ... but more importantly for visual impact as I think it would make a neat detail. What do you think?
also have been mulling over painting the cab window but not sure what color... dont really want to do red as that doesnt strike me as NYCish.... all the NYC images I have seen are B&W but it would appear the window mullions are black. Maybe just a slightly lighter shade of steam power black to hightlight it slightly?
