Started to grind off the cast on details:
Found a Nathan Top Feed Check Valve Cal-Scale (190-251) at my LHS:

Didn't find any pilot ladders/steps, though. Also haven't found a picture of the other side of 1303, but I found another picture of the fireman's side (from Frisco Archive):

It seems to have been shopped since the last picture--looks like two New York air compressors. Apparently the Frisco converted some of their many 2-8-0s as switchers, hence the two compressors and the air tank above the pilot. So I'm guessing the engineer's side may not have looked like 1304 above, as that's set up as a switcher. So I'm trying to decide how, and how much, to detail my 2-8-0.
