Almost There

Yes, I know. Christmas is coming too ...

My "To Do" list on the Davenport (post electrical/mechanical) is down from about 25 items to about a dozen:

Build/Install front and rear headlight lenses
Build sandbox covers.
Install horn and bell pull cords.
Clean and reinstall cab on locomotive
Install radio on locomotive, connect antenna.
Install bell on hood and horns on roof.
Connect front, rear headlights.
Build muffler, remove old smokestack, install new muffler on hood.
Install hood.
Modify radiator & Build grill guard, reinstall
Build and install flag holders, or match paint and cover old hood slots.
Add decals, other graphics, and Marcus.
Test.

And, I think I may see what I can find in the large diecast toy section of Tractor Supply to save me building a muffler... some of theirs are quite detailed, and should work nicely in 1:20.3 for a smaller stack.

I had hoped this post would wave the "FINISHED" banner ... but I'm spending my day dealing with a main drain clog (again,) and may therefore end up delayed for a few days!
