Thanks Rick and Dave. There is still quite a bit to do. I also have an undec version that I plan to do as SP&S 910. Dave, The air pumps are from Precision Scale Co (585-6744) and I ordered them from Walthers. The pilots I ordered are PSC too, but not sure if they are the correct version. It is getting more difficult to find detail parts. I didn't find any loco marker lights on the Walthers web site. John
PSG---will those smoke deflectors come right off and if so, do they leave holes where they were mounted?
Bob, You have some very nice looking locos. Do you just run steam on your layout? I just recently got more interested in steam, and must say they look great running on my layout. I now have two Challengers (NP and soon to be SP&S), two Bachmann 4-8-2s (GN), and Model Power (GN) and Kato (SP&S)2-8-2s. John
Glenn, I did this with my Big Boy #4019 which has smoke deflectors too. I had to use a bit of force to remove the supports that hold the deflectors. If you do it carefully you can putt them back on. And yes, the supports will leave small holes.
