There is a guy on Model Railroad Hobbyist forum that has been scratch-bashing D&H steam. The ash pans are on both sides of the firebox. He made up molds to cast the ashpans out of resin.
The scrath-bash starts on page 3 of the blog. If I remember correctly he is using Bachmann 2-8-0 running gear and scratch building the boiler, firebox, and ash pans, with other commercial detail castings. I don't remember if he is using the Bachmann cab or building his own.
