Thanks to Erich and my hobby shop I am well on my way to getting this project completed.
It will have led's on back,on front and head light.
I put a new bell housing in and new foot rails on the engine.I also have the original name plates for the boiler front under the cab window and on the tender back.
I need to figure out how to put KD couplers on it but that will come.
I will paint it the same as the original flat black with bright red trim.
This will be some nice unit when I get it finished.
I like the valve gear and the 10 drive wheels give me no trouble on my layout I though it might.
Any comments???

Looks good Ken!
Do you put on wind deflectors? Ă–BB engines run with or without them.
Don´t you use a resistor for the Leds? - Erich

Erich,
I will put the wind reflectors on after I paint. The led's will all have the chip so they will be bright all the time.I also have the original boiler front that I will use. The hand rails are yet to be installed. The valve gear still needs to be cleaned and with the red strip redone.
There is a lot to do but I just wanted any comments from those that know this model to see if I'm on the right track.
