Bashing A Brass USRA 0-8-0

[Fluesheet]

Schraddel ,
Great and very interesting post.
I have never seen anyone model the seam between the cyl. blocks before , never even realized there SHOULD BE one . Even the master builder Mel Thornbourgh never modeled it -- I built a K4 Pacific following his plans and directions and it was not shown.

Dave, a good detail shot of the front of the steam chest on a K4 is here:

Not all steam locomotives had this seam. Later steam had both cylinders cast as one piece, obviating the need to bolt halves together.

Schraddel, I echo and applaud your eye for detail on your brass projects.
