The spring replaced and a quick check with a coupler gauge shows all to be good.
With that out of the way I soldered a 9 1/2 in single stage compressor to it's bracket and mounted it to the fireman's side of the boiler.
And after I posted this I realized that I didn't take any pics of building the cab roof . :o As you can see in the last two pics,, it has been built and installed. It's more of the same styrene embossed with rivets. It has two vent hatches and a dummy hatch that provides access to the steam dome for maintenance.
