About a month ago, I began cleaning up inside the cab area of my Consolidation. I did some repainting and re-piping. Today, I finished and put the cab back on. Along with this, I’ve been working on the cylinder drains. Just waiting for a few fittings to arrive and I’ll get that finished. Next task is to rebuild the ash pan. I actually ripped it out today and began cutting some heavier material for the new one. Here are a few pics.

Look at the back head before.

Look at the back head now.
