[quote user="dstarr"] This started out as a plastic Bachmann 0-6-0.  I fabricated the cooling loops under the walkway from brass wire and shim brass, added the engineer, and made handrails from wire.  I could have done more, replaced all the cast on piping with wire, but I didn't.  Paint is dark gray auto primer from a rattle can. [/quote] I like how yours came out, I will have to give those cooling lines and handrails a shot.  <img src="http://i1168.photobucket.com/albums/r486/BMMECNYC/BM%20446_zpsyjca6jsa.jpg" alt=" " /> I went with 446 and added styrene to raise the coal bunker height.  Still needs a back up light, some better quality weathering, and some better details (air lines, new bell, saftey valves, whistle, generator).  I modified the front pilot deck with sheet styrene (If I had to do it over, I would use brass), and installed a working knuckle coupler (it ended up being a bit low, but it works okay).  I used craft paints and aged concrete or dirt (Polyscale) for the low areas on the drivers.   <img src="http://i1168.photobucket.com/albums/r486/BMMECNYC/Iphone%20upload%2011-21-15%20027_zpsqjtvajnm.jpg" alt="2-10-2" /> Here is a Bachmann 2-10-2 that I have been working on.  I added a Elesco feedwater heater, and a train control box.  I will be moving the airpumps to the pilot and moving the feedwater pump to a more realistic location (its kindof hanging off the side of the locomotive walkway at this point.    Here is my mogul, not quite a Overland or PFM. <img src="http://i1168.photobucket.com/albums/r486/BMMECNYC/Engineers%20Side%201400_zps4duho0xh.jpeg" alt=" " /> <img src="http://i1168.photobucket.com/albums/r486/BMMECNYC/Firemans%20side%201400_zpsvaahmd2v.jpeg" alt=" " />
