BLI Baltimore and Ohio 2-8-2
I really like my Broadway Limited Light 2-8-2 Mikado in B&O, but it's pretty much the as-delivered 1918 standard USRA model. I wanted to do something to make it look more like a B&O class Q-3 in the mid-1950's, so I ordered another smokebox cover assembly from BLI (too bad they didn't have one with the same number as my engine). I pulled the headlight, marker lamps, bell and handrail off, filled the openings where the number board and marker lamps were with contour putty, and repainted the cover with Model Master Gunship Gray acrylic. I put the headlight assembly where the bell was, put the bell on the boiler between the the steam dome and sandbox, and relocated the marker lamps a little lower. The finishing touch was the Cal-Scale B&O emblem in the center.
