WoW..!! Thanks for all your comments AND pictures..!! They'll all be a great help on this build...!! 
Yes...The detail kit was purchased from Yardbird Trains....They have LOTS of detailing stuff...I also purchased the "cow-catcher" assembly that has two air cylinders on it...Looks a sight better than the stock plastic CC...BTW...Does anybody make a boiler "backhead" casting, to cover up the motor that sticks halfway into the cab..?? That motor sure looks ugly in there...
I'll be taking a look at Cal-Scale for that throttle control, and additional details...
E-Paw....What is that "fixture" on the engineer's side below the catwalk and behind the air cylinder..?? (First picture...). Mi engine has that cast in, but I don't know what it is.... :oops:
I'll be posting some pics as work progresses (slowly) in a separate thread. Hopefully this won't take but a couple of months to get done....
