Ken ; There is a lot new there. Cab, tender, domes, stack, headlight, Generator, pilot, air tanks, and that is the obvious stuff. But it looks great. And its got small feet. They look to be 2' gauge. ( 24" )

Nice read to bad no others photos of the loco. I noticed it was a oil burner and in its rebuild it was changed back to coal. It is good to see a old Baldwin loco brought back from a wreck.
