Looks very nice! That is how I want mine to look. One day I plan on detailing mine. The most dreaded part for me is doing the research for the parts. I found plenty of prototype pictures.

Photos are pretty much all you need. There are two primary source books I used, but really the pictures you have are enough.

Golly Ron, that's amazing - Who would have thunk it?
How does it run?
Beautiful work Ron!
Ron, How did you deal with the sheetmetal under the firebox? Is it removable without compromising the functionality of the trailing truck? Where did you get your parts?
Looks great!

Mike, the headlight, pilot or engine truck brake rigging, and electrical junctions are from precision scale company and the rest, mostly piping, made from brass by myself. I'll have to look, but I may have lowered the loco on its chassis a bit. I don't remember any problems with the firebox. Again I'll look, but I may have modified a K line scale trailing truck.
