I have been watching the other threads in the challenge and see some very nice work, I've enjoyed participating in this one. Thanks to all involved.
Now,,,,,Time to post some more progress
I have the sand dome reassembled and mounted in the next two pics. Also I have added the frame for the spark arrestor to the stack. I will add the mesh screening to it when the model is ready for paint.
When you look at this old pic from the beginning of the thread, you can see the molded on brake detail. It looks terrible and just won't do.
I used the old brake rigging as a guide and scratched up some nicer stuff. I did decide to leave off the independent bail pipe for the #6 brake, as it interfered with the motion of the tenders front truck.
