You guys are easy! I have some in my collection even more scruffy looking.

Reading G-1 aborning? Be nice to see it completed.

I am thinking the cab is too small? It got a new firebox last week.

In the few photos of reading steam locos I could find quickly it looks very comparable to me.

I can see from the Hmmmmm thread that I need to find more dirtbaggy stuff to get a rise out of this crowd. Problem is, I have nothing to compare to that eBay offering, and hence am not able to offer anything worthy of comment.

Here's one more, just in case you haven't been totally captivated by a crooked Niagara with All Nation drivers for 99 cents:

This one is actually a Lobaugh boiler. It appears to be a CB&Q Hudson shape, and Lobaugh never produced a kit for anything close, so it may be a "one-off" from the Cusper Brothers' metal spinning shop. Frame is mine; project is on indefinite hold.

Interesting place to put notes.

Interesting place to put notes.

Looks like a good idea to me. At least you won't loose them (the notes).

Rex - good call. It is next for finishing. More work on the firebox this evening, then on to piping. I have only a vague idea of what the left side of a 1922 G1 looks like. Lots of photos of the 1924 G1sa and the G1sb, but tje omly left side I have of the G1 is Allan Wehrle's photo. Assistance appreciated!
