The new brass frame was drilled, milled, filed, soldered, and is sitting under the loco boiler and cab........and the camera's batteries are of course dead, so I have to recharge them, before I can take pictures. 
The frame still needs details, like springs, hangers, levers ( for the suspension ), the pilot and pilot steps, pivot points for the lead and trailing trucks......etc.. And I still have to kluge together a motor/gearbox that will work well.
This project will continue well beyond the end of this challenge, but I'm back to it, at least.

We always learn far more from our own mistakes, than we will ever learn from another's advice.
The greatest place to live life, is on the sharp leading edge of a learning curve.
Lead me not into temptation.....I can find it myself!
