Many years ago my Dad made some modifications to his Northern based on the Wabash O1 4-8-4.

Unfotunately, after he passed I let it go to auction and regretted not keeping it. Reading this thread inspired me to build one like his, and I was able to finish it today.

I added a steam dome that I found on eBay that fits well.  The only other modifications were to modify the front bell to bend the arm upward and I clipped out the back cab windows for a train crew.

The decals were pieced together from various sets I found on eBay as well.  Here is a video of it running:
