I started this on Sunday Feb 10, as I had nothing to work on for NAPM. This is a Bachmann American lettered for the B&O. After disassembling the model I stripped off the domes, stack, light and bell and then removed the cast on piping. I have a supply of brass details so over the last few days (between work on tenement) I added the details and plumbed up the engine. I am working from some photos of some early DSS&A 4-4-0 engines. One has a neat drop step pilot as would be seen in switching service, I think that is the direction I will head.
