After fighting the Flu over the last week I made it back into the workshop to get back at the boxcab project.
I detailed the cab roof. On the HOn3 version the two air tanks and slung under the frame, beside the sideframes. The HO version has the sideframes moved outward so I installed them on the roof with some appropriate plumbing. I also added a roof mounted bell and 3 chime horn. I decided to make this engine a bit tongue in cheek, hence the slightly oversized accessories.
I also added and exhaust stack and spark arrestor from a Proto2000 SW1200, cut down a bit of course. The six ladders and stirups were added as well.
The engine is pretty much ready for the paint shop now.
