Looks good so far 
, Your off to a good start. I'll suggest that you may want to try using the rivet decals available from Mirco-Mark <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.micromark.com/HO-scale-decals-with-raised-3D-rivets-and-other-surface-details,9968.html">http://www.micromark.com/HO-scale-decal ... ,9968.html</a><!-- m --> as to emboss rivets on a factory model would be extremely difficult. I do want to see how you add the boiler bands and other details to the model also. That triangular ash pan is a distinctive detail on the prototype, How are you going to handle that too?
