Here you go, a PRR I1sa bashed from an old Minitrix 2-10-0. Let's see another locomotive that you built or re-worked extansivly.

My Specturm Consolidation has a number of details added including a CalScale boiler tube pilot, scatchbuilt pilot steps, whistle, engineer and fireman figures, railings around the tender deck, MEC speed lettering decals, and a Tsnaumi sound secoder
Show me something else that you detailed
George In Midcoast Maine, 'bout halfway up the Rockland branch
Here are a couple of highly modified locomotives.
The Pennsylvania E-8s shown here were in Atlantic Coast Line livery when they started out. I stripped, modified, painted, decaled and detailed both shells to make the locos you see in the thumbnail. I fabricated the locomotive radio antenna for the A-unit from the stanchions from an Athearn BB SD40 kit and a few lengths of .015-inch music wire. For the A-unit, #5713 i installed a new headlight arrangement and an MRC Sound Decoder and a Soundtraxx #810112 Oval Speaker. The B-unit is powered and equipped with a Lenz decoder for motor control. I speed matched the locos with DecoderPro and my desk top computer. They opperate very well together and can pull the paint off of the walls.
Remember its your railroad

I went ahead and startedthe April Show Me Something thread.
Ur guide looks awsome. Im looking to do the same and am having little to no luck figuring out how to build one. Do you have plans or a direction in which to point me? Thanks mike
OK, a ressurected Show Me thread, 3 years old. Most of the pictures are gone.
What is this guide you speak of?
Just curious,
Mike.

I was referring to ur scratch built coke guide for the come oven. Im filling a large space with 3 blast furnaces and combining two coke ovens and would like to figure out how to build a guide
I'm not sure what a Ur guide is but I believe you are looking for a coke oven guide and pusher/door car.
There are a few special interest groups related to steel modeling.
http://www.smmsig.org/mike-rabbitt.html
Mike Rabbitt has (or had?) many prints of steel mill equipment.
Peachcreek Shops may still have some steel mill information as well:
**oops, sorry. Peachcreek Shops is no more
The later Walthers Coke Ovens had the charging lorry and reciever (quenching) car but you'll have to scratch the coke guide. You might be able to use parts from the charging lorry and add your own home-grown guide "cage".
The Dean Freytag book only has one very small shot of a coke guide car. The Model Railroader's Guide to Steel Mills book has a few photos.
Just an idea, why don't you give CSX_road_slug an instant message and ask him about how he built his coke guide?
Good Luck, Ed
