Brooks, Outstanding! I look forward to seeing your progress on this model. Please consider making a photo file on this site so that we can share in learning what can be made from the new Lionel products. Thanks for posting your work here.

I have completed the details on the front, rear and top of the tender which is built from about 50 individual pieces of styrene. The locations of the Archer rivet decals match the prototype as exactly as I could including single rows, double rows and staggered rows of rivets all in the proper place. The major pieces yet to be added are the catwalks along the sides. Then it will be ready for installation of the remaining wire handrails, under body details, internal wiring for the rear light and chuff sync cam, painting and installing a coal load. After the tender is done, I'll turn to detailing the locomotive. Brooks Stover
