loren : yes it is ! When i was a kid this is how it was done. Not that everyone made bronze boilers. The ones i know of is, Varney, Cary, Bowser,and Takara of Japan. One thing is for sure, that boiler will last many generations. Finding a bronz drive for it would be great. This is what is not done. The loco need a a skirt made to partially cover and fill in the space below the walkway as Varney shows in it's sales photo of this model. Also the hand rails, head lamp, front marker lights, and a smoke stack. I have somemore drilling to do to complete the detailing on this model. Then a nice paint job. Finding a original tender would be nice, tho i can live with the old American Flyier one i am using.
