Thank for the reply rich, I did disassembled a donor 259E shell that I found under a table at a train show.
I still have the 259E with motor and better trim that I did not take apart.
I do have the front and rear trailing trucks on both as they are not in the picture.
Looking to do a two part paint olive drab and black and putting US Army on the tender in black letters.
Just have to pick up a boiler front as this is missing on both shells.
Questions:
Does the marker light on the boiler front come in bras for the bras trim and nickel for the nickel trim?
The side round logo on the engine is a bit faded; I think they sell sticker types, would the sticker type fit over the existing emblem with no overhang?
