I took a Rivarossi Heavy Mike and converted it to a Northern Pacific W-3 mike. Changes included shortening of the tender about 7 feet and adding a tool box and dog house on the tender's tank top. The boiler was substantially changed with the addition of much piping and brass detail parts, N.P. type headlight. Cut off the USRA type sand dome and replaced with a N.P. type sand dome from scratch, changed all cat walks, pilot, etc. The loco really captures the look of an N.P. W-3 excepting the cab should have been made a couple feet longer. I've also taken an MDC 10 wheeler and converted it to an N.P. S-4 10 wheeler. This was a fairly easy conversion as the MDC 10 wheeler looks very similar to an S-4.
