Hi Hans,

Very impressive so far and she's going to be a big lady !    It looks like you found info on the cab interior details.

Hi there
More details on the top... Smokebox at the right position, "piano" (all the switches for lights, smoke, operating [track/battery]), etc. under the roof... Neets patience and time - lot of time!

Cheers
