The above photos show the left and right hand sides of the boiler after stripping off all of the unneeded detail.  I filled the holes with styrene rod and strip.  The holes for the domes were backed with thin styrene and then filled with epoxy and sanded to shape.

Engineers side.  Ash pans are attached all other pieces are sub assemblies in the process of fabrication.  The cab is built up from .010 sheet, the roof was a real challenge to form.

Firemans side. Again the walkways, compressor and injector feed pipe are sub assemblies.  I have to place an order with PSC to get some additional detail castings.

When I get tired of working on the locomotive I switch over to this project, building some passenger cars.  These models are based upon prototypes created in 1888 for the DSS&A by Jackson & Sharp.  There are some excellent digitized glass plate builders photos available of these cars.  I used info from the 1888 Car Builders Cyclopedia (Google Books) to get information on the floor framing and brake application.  The trucks are from Bethlehem Car Works (#122).  Brake rigging from Cal Scale Express Reefer, not exact for prototype but close enough for underside of car. This is the 40 foot Mail Express car.

This is he floor and car side for the 52 foot baggage car.  I have two more 52 foot floors completed for the coach cars, I have to start the fabrication of the sides.
