Lets build a camelback,, or two.

[e-paw]

I'm a little late on my posts so this is what I did last week.

    The air tanks are now complete and ready for install. the brackets and straps are cut from some scrap styrene, just as I did on my 4-8-0. Once they are glued in place on the top of the fire box I will bend and cut the air lines the interconnect them.

    I have also installed the rear sand dome and fabricated the hatches for both front and rear domes. The sand lines are also now glued and soldered in place. Right behind the cab I have scratched out the auxiliary steam dome. At this time it only contains the three pop valves, a whistle will be added later. The main steam dome (that houses the throttle) would normally be located under the center cab. It will not be able to be seen so I'm leaving it off these models. when I pick out a bell it will be mounted at the back of the firebox just before the rear shelter.
