    I could hardly have a Shay lettered for Pennsylvania Power & Light burning oil, could I? So, I removed the oil bunker, which is attached with a single tiny screw, and plated over the hole with .020" Plastruct sheet as well as adding an arched coal board. Here are some self explanatory shots of the conversion:

    I also weathered the locomotive somewhat.
