Still ugly. New stack and front dome. Machined boiler front. All aluminum for weight distribution. Also, for that reason, a giant 1/4" thick blackhead will be installed.

MR. Rex, Is your photo a smooth bore firebox? cause Bobs model looks different in that area, maybe with paint it will hide better

Dunno what a smooth bore firebox is. :(

Obviously it's a firebox with no rifling. Honestly Rex, think.

There are little cheeks on the firebox sides in some photos. I did not model them. The top angle is less pronounced when viewing from a slightly higher angle.

Next question: where is the air tank? Is it on the frame between the cylinders and front drivers?
