Well after a few years I'm back onto working on this project, not much has been done but so far I have a set of cylinders, pilot truck crosshead guides, a pilot (needed a 1880s style cowcatcher) all these parts were mostly sourced from another project locomotive that I bought and figured it would work better on this. I also have a boiler but it's mostly serving as a mock-up, this wont be the final boiler as I need a tube smaller, and I have to make the wagon top firebox. As for the motor I'm thinking of using the existing coupling from the original Lionel kotor, and matching it up to a smaller motor. Can't say how it will be set up yet. Sometime this week I will be starting to modify the chassis to accept these parts. The drive rods from the cylinders will most likely be scratch built. Stay tuned!
