I started this over in the General Forum, but decided to continue it here. Bachman`s `Emily` is loosely based on the Stirling Single. I got a book with some good pictures and did some research on the web. I started by cutting the cab some to remove the `backhead` that was covering the speaker. I got some parts from the UK for the backhead of a locomotive, they did not look much like the Stirling backhead(although they were supposed to be). I added some parts from Ozark Miniatures and will add the gauges as I assemble it after painting.
I sanded off the boiler bands and the molded hand rails. I used metal duct tape to cover up the boiler shell. I`ll put on handrails later.
I traced off the splash holes and cut them out. There is an inner layer that also has to be removed to see the wheel behind the splash holes.
