Ha..!! Bet you all thought this thread had come to its end.... !!!NOOOoo..!! It's just that the work is coming along slowly...
Here's where I'm at...
I did the handrails last weekend..Only took me a day and a half to get them right....But I did....

There's a small glitch here...The handrails rub up against the sand dome, so I'll have to put in a little "crook" to clear the dome and the pipes coming out of it...
And last night I spent about three hours grinding off the cast-in reverse mechanism, and placed the brass one I got in yesterday's mail...

Question...Now that I removed the reverser, there's a good bunch of "bare" iron where it used to be. Should I trim that back a little..?? Or leave it in place to lessen the "see-through" syndrome these locos are famous for..??
Next up...the turret and placement of piping that I also got in the mail....Getting there....
BTW...I got a copy of Vol.1 of the MRR Cyclopedia...Just a world of information there...!!
