I've made a bit more progress on 2906. I take two steps forward and one step back it seems. Not having plans/good pix I find I have to make changes to parts I thought I was done with, but what the heck, it's to keep busy. I got the boxpox wheel castings turned(center axle) and the foil on the boiler/cab. Pencil line shows where I need to trim the side fairings, have since got that done. Working on the steps right now, once those are done I will glue the fairings on.

I got enough progress done to post a picture. I have not been working too hard! I'm trying to make it so I can take it apart. The side fairings I will glue on once I get them painted. Easier to do all the striping with it laying flat. The boiler/cab come off right now also, will be screwed on, so I can get to the lights/etc. Lights are done, will put them on after painting. Still have the tender to do, so who knows? I'm getting a Shark, so may put this aside if I get that soon.

I got started on the tender. 2906 had a Vandy tender, but I didn't have one so used this one. To make it taller I added a wood plank(thinned it a little after the first pix). The cut off top curved pieces get glued back on it.

Here the tender is glued up. 1/8" plastic on the sides will give me the recess in the back corner for the ladders. Balsa 'planks' on top. The original hatch was cut down to proper size. Embossed foil will cover it, as on the locomotive. Getting closer to paint!

My wife cut the vinyl lettering/stripes for me. She used to have a small sign business and still has her plotter/cutter. Getting the curves just right on the front fairing took some work.

Here's the full view.

I still have to do the lights and af ew other details and touch up some paint. The chassis runs good on blocks. I plan to use track power right now. It was an old Aristo Pacific and had track pickups on the drivers/front and rear trucks. The used tender I got with it also has pickups on it's axles, so with that wide spread I think it should run smooth on track power. I did wire in a DPDT switch if I want to run it on battery.
