Hello Everyone,
Thanks for all additional information, I know that the Kanawha's had different tenders and the sand domes were in a different location. The Main point of this modification is not to make it look 100% like a Kanawha but to make me and maybe some others feel like its a C&O Kanawha Lionel Style instead of a MTH already made Kanawha. Hope this clarifies what I am doing a little better. Road Number will be kept as 2696 because the Legacy Sound Set has Radio Dialog with 2696 announced.
Unfortunately due to my lack of skill, I am not as talented as some other people when it comes to making extensive amount of modifications, the main point of this modification is to make the front of this Berkshire look more like a C&O Kanawha considering parts for the different location of the Sand domes is not made for Lionel Berkshires. I have bought parts from Lionel's Replacement parts page from the Lionel 6-38077 Virginian Berkshire to help for this project. I also have acquired decals from Micro scale to help with this as well For All Who are curious I have more pictures attached of what progress has come as far as disassembly for the new parts.
In the photo's attached, you can see the smoke box door and Pilot have been removed which is basically all that will be modified for this project. I don't want to burn myself out with this too much since it is m first modification project
Thanks for everyone's interest.
