** Russ : The belpare boiler is a Pennsy trademark. It is visiable on all of it's streamlinerd K class, except one. If I do all the necessary work to make it and try for a very prototypical boiler shape,I would have to cut the front pilot, and boiler front, off because it is very different than anything Pennsy had. This would make a Varney boillerd streamliners resteration impossable. I do want a use this very unique boiler as close to original as I can. My August 6th board goes into it more, but the front end on this boiler is NYC, or Santa-Fe, and i don't model ether. I'll have to exercise may right to artistic license, and for a more finished, and complete look, go with the boiler as it is. Their will be a attempt at a belpair boiler. Got to see how it comes out.
