LNE ( ex PRR ) 2-8-2

[e-paw]

I've been sick off and on for the last couple of weeks so not much work went on, but, I do have some progress to show on the L-1.
    The paint and weathering is complete, I have added the coal load, and all the glass is in (It was still wet when I took the pics). I need to add the engine crew and install a whistle, I cant believe I forgot that part . I had nothing suitable to use, so I'll have to head over to the hobby shop soon. you can also see that I added a chain to the side of the tender, that detail showed up in a few prototype pics. I really don't know what the chain could be used for, but it is something that the LNE added to these engines.

   

    in this shot you get a nice view of the coal load and tail light. If you look closely at the center of the tender deck you'll see the faint outline of where the PRR had built a small doghouse for the front end brakeman. This was done with a fine brush and some rust colored paint. I'm not certain of weather the LNR or PRR removed them but none of the LNE L-1's had them.
