As I wait for the cab details to set up so that I can do some sanding and filling, I went to work on the pilot.
I added the grab across the beam and the cut lever. Both were bent and soldered from some .015 brass wire.
The firebox walkways were hung, and air lines installed for the tanks. You will also notice the grabs on the fireman's shelter. A boiler band running between the clean-out plugs was also a necessity. I'll have to get a shot of the underside of the firebox to show the supports for the walkways. Along with the other new details I have also added the steam dome which is located inside the center cab. This was another time when my Russian decapods came to the rescue by donating a steam dome for the cause.
