Found some brass castings for the loco,
Cut the opening for the cab vent, and framed it
New fittings, from the cab front, forward,
1- a Pyle Generator. 2- A turret, with Pop Valves, and Whistle. 3- On the sand dome, two pipe sand valves on both sides.
4- Just behind the smoke box, a Top Feed Check Valve. 5- On the smoke box front, the Bell.
6- on the tender, the water hatch.
The "thing" laying in the coal bin of the tender, is the tender brake cylinder.
I also found Back-head details, but those can't be applied until the frames are done, and the cab floor is in place.
So !!, for now, at least, I am, once again, back to the original delay that made this a "Get Off Your Duff" project- - - - - -
the running gear :o

We always learn far more from our own mistakes, than we will ever learn from another's advice.
The greatest place to live life, is on the sharp leading edge of a learning curve.
Lead me not into temptation.....I can find it myself!
