I got to the rebuilding of the primary locomotive of the layout, NP 328. It was in service from about 1910 through the end of my modelling era (1939).
The prototype of the engine, followed by the Varney "Casey Jones" model of similar design. Came closest in overall appearance and detail.
The beginning of my layout is set near this location, with 328 being the primary loco used on this linee.
Here is the model, in the disassembly
There is a lot of gunk to clean off also the paint seems really thick that is on there.
The wheel configuration is similar, as the domes, stack, whistle, bell, and light. The cab even extends back over the tender some, and the tender is designed the same as well. No small window in front of the cab, however.
I will paint, decal, and reassemble.
It looks like the house will be ready the middle of March, and the benchwork will commence after the walls are painted.
