I had a busy week but I did manage to get some work finished on the cab interior.
First off I built the Johnson bar out of some brass wire. I then used some CA to attach it to the inside of the cab wall. I did this so that the cab could be removed easier.It was better to do that than stick it to the floor like the prototype because of clearance issues.
Next I built the Throttle from some more brass shapes and soldered to the side of the boiler.
With the cab reinstalled I took another shot of the finished product. Looks like I have to straighten out the throttle guides a little.
