Hi Tom; A more important question, what did he use as a drive?
While making a boiler/cab and tender may seem a bit daunting, it's all just along for the ride. The existence of Archer decal rivets removes one more hurdle in making a good looking locomotive superstructure, and there have been photos on other internet forums of very nice models done in styrene with the Archer rivets, in HO using various commercial RTR drives. Building a frame and finding the right size wheels, making the rods, etc. is really more demanding as that part has to function well, or you have a static model. Someone could do a different looking pacific using the AM drive, but other than out of production SSL&S or older Nord parts, where do you find a mikado drive in scale S? Pieter E.
