Now that I have made a copy of my build thread here it is time for a small update.
The good news is everything is painted and the locomotive except for the tender has been clear coated. I am still waiting on the " Fuel Oil " lettering but the GOOD news is I was informed everything I need to finish the decaling was shipped last Friday ( Dec 12th ).
This means I should have the final little finishing touches done before Christmas and be able to post pictures of the finished locomotive and tender. 
Since my last posts there has been a change to how the wires from the locomotive to the tender are connected. I will cover the change when I post the final pictures.
Work on N-5-d number 2 has been put on hold until I get the track plan for a new layout done. Right now I have only a test track to run my locomotives and a few freight cars on and seeing as my N-5-d rebuild will hopefully soon be finished I will need some more track so I can run it and enjoy all my hard work. I also have a fair number of freight car kits I need to build, paint and decal. Good thing winter is here it gives me a good excuse to hide away in my shop and work on trains.
