MWaz Get off your duff challenge

[twilight]

I had to file out the space in the frame where the main driver gear passed through to allow for the NWSL gearbox. When I prepare for paint I'll try to remember to get a picture of that. Also, the NWSL gearbox required the Bowser gear to be removed off the the axle and a NWSL gear to be pressed on to replace it.

In my original post when I joined the challenge, I didn't mention that I will be setting this H-9 up to operate with a DCC decoder.




In this photo I've added more details to the boiler, a lagged pipe that this particular H-9 had and I've started some of the handrails. Here is a photo of the H-9 I'm shooting for: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.northeast.railfan.net/images/prr540s.jpg">http://www.northeast.railfan.net/images/prr540s.jpg</a><!-- m -->
