Hi I'm new to the word of steam locos, as I won one in an auction with some other stuff. What I want to do is detail and weather it as it is not a good looking loco as it stands right now. I've been doing a bit of looking and Cary and Cal scale have some nice detail parts but I'm not sure where to begin. It's a Mikado, but I'm unsure of the manufacture. I'm going to strip it down and remove the plastic details and re-paint. What I'm unsure of is I am unfamiliar of the workings of the loco so I don't know what details to buy and where to put them. Is there any prototype drawings on any websites I can use to become familiar with the parts. Also need a lead set of wheels (2) as these are broken. Any info would be helpful. Thanks[:D]
