Thanks for your comments guys.
Kevin, I guess I could power this little fellow but it won't have anywhere to go since the track it will be sitting on will be less than a foot long.
I did some lettering and some detailing on the chassis.
The BM is for Blackwater Mining, my layout's company. But It's also a throwback to the origins of the kit "Battle Mountain"
I also added the deck and beginning of the pilots to the front and back. They're some spare wood ties that I stained to approximately match the plastic weathered wood on the engine.
You'll also notice I started the weathering on the roof, more on that later.
