K5A Build Update

I just scored a Kato JNR C57 that has the boxpox drivers needed for the Erie K5A project.

When it arrives, probably some time next week, I'll have to figure out how to turn this:

into this.






I have the tender and I have one or two old Atlas Pacific shells. I also have a complete Arnold 4-6-2 that I wouldn't hesitate using the shell off of if it is a better match. I also have a collection of leading and trailing trucks and a few steam cylinder sets that can be donated to the cause as well, but it might be easier to use the Kato steam cylinders and form them with brass and plastic into what I need.

It should be fun!
