I've done quite a few with varying degrees of success. I got inspired by the Details at a time articles in Model Railroad Craftsman. What is nice about this, they give you the manufacturer and parts numbers for each detail. You can search the index on this web site and find just about every engine for every railroad. <br /> <br />I also spend a lot of time pouring over the pages of my Walthers book looking at super detailing parts. <br /> <br />As for parts, I would stick with the parts made of brass of white metal. The plastic parts tend to require assembly, especially the air horns. Talk about torture! For a nice selection of brass Overland parts, try www.modeltrains.com out of Canada. Scroll to the bottom of the home page for the Overland parts link.
