Reading P7sa back to a C1

[toptrain]

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.

My ash pans need some additions. If I do them all, this engine may look as weard as some D&H engines. This engine had 4 ash drops. I am going to do just 1 on each side, then see how it looks. The other 2 , front, and back,will waite. Also this is the last thing I will do to this loco. Is just attachments of detail under the ashpan.
