Lets build a camelback,, or two.

[e-paw]

looks good Graffen ..Got home late today and didn't get anything done today :x . But I can show you the work I did yesterday.

Here's the firebox from Bethlehem Car works <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.bethlehemcarworks.com/Products/index.html">http://www.bethlehemcarworks.com/Products/index.html</a><!-- m --> . They no longer sell this line of parts :evil: . The entire line was sold to Dan Hicks trains except the Camelback parts, BCW has lost the molds and has no plans to produce anything similar. ( If any Gauge members ever come across them at a hobby shop PLEASE pm me ).    
You can see the three parts that are included in the firebox kit, you have to make the rest. There's a backhead, awning, and front sheet. I will be modifying all these parts to use as masters to cast others from.

I looked at all my pics of camelback backheads and came up with a composite of details that seamed common to them all.     Most of the work is finished here. I tried to make the firebox doors more like the butterfly type with air actuated openers. Some clean outs, injector controls and other plumbing were also added. An air brake control and a few other things are still needed. I was going for a generic look, some thing that looks right more than a copy of any particular prototype.
