Thanks Kevin
I finished fitting the cab today

It needed a slot cut in the rear for a tab that is on the frame.

I see I will also have to add a filler piece to the bottom of the cab to cover the hole in the rear of the frame. The cab isn't attached yet, just hanging in loosely.
While I was at the computer today I used trains.com's magazine search engine on the MDC 2-8-0 and found allot of articles on the engine and it's many kitbashing and detailing possibilities.

I'll go through my magazine collection to check out the articles in the next couple days, I'm pretty sure I have all the issues listed.
