First coat of paint added to the new features. This custom re-built American 4-4-0 out performs it's factory siblings many times over.

Did you do the rebuild or purchase it that way? If you did the work, are you gonna share?? lol Of course, mine might be beyond help at this point!

Bravo, Mystere! Did you by any chance get the headlight to work?

Yep, I did the work and my plan is to publish an article to one of the magazines on this job. The headlight does not work yet, but will very shortly.

Everyone can follow along with the progress of this rebuild in the 2nd Annual International Winter Layout Party thread.
