Thanks, Val, for your kind remarks regarding the switcher. I also have a loco awaiting an all-weather cab (plus a lot of other details). It's a brass USRA 2-10-2 that I'm converting into a CNR T-3-a for my friend cn nutbar. I also have an old Pacific with an all-weather cab that's awaiting conversion into a Grand Valley loco, which means that cab and an Elesco fwh have to go. Also in the shop are two Bachmann 4-6-0s, in need of new cabs, rebuilt tenders and modernized domes, cylinders and appliances, along with a pair of Bachmann Consolidations. One is awaiting a rebuild as a fifth Grand Valley 2-8-0, while the other, completely torn down (and I do mean completely) will become a CNR N-2-b. All of these projects are on hold on account of the ongoing house renovation, which I hope will be done in a month or so.
