Assembly of an old Arbour Models C&O H-8, 2-6-6-6!

[EM-1_7600]

Guys,
I figured, I'd post some pictures of the model. As is, right now.....

I thought you all might enjoy seeing some of my work, due to the lack of posting any pictures on my part, specially steam! (I actually perfer steam to diesel, BUT alot of times, I'm using mixed media on them, even tho, I do use a ton of brass detail parts on diecat and even plastic steamer models!

Yep, guilty as charged! BUT, when I get a chance to detail a brass locomotive, I pretty much jump right in, both feet, (Or in this case, both hands!)

Without any further adue, here's the progress on my Arbour Models, C&O H-8, 2-6-6-6......

The tender:









Notice "holes" in tender truck side frames! I did this to ALL 4 of them, but only have the picture online of thats seen here, right now! More pictures to come to show more progress! 8)



Well thats the tender posted.....Now for the boiler, and cab of the locomotive!









The Cab:





Boiler with cab in place:









Boiler front, removed (was put into place when I bought the model!)



More pictures to come when I get a chance, as its got alot more assembled since these were snapped!
