Well, guys and gals, I finally finished by 2-10-2 project and am very 
happy with the results.

I started out with the new Proto 2000 Heritage Series by Walthers, 
with sound and undecorated. And I must add that the sound effects are 
the best I have heard. The deep whistle sound and chuffing really 
makes this engine come alive. I do not operate DCC, but with the new 
Atlas Quantum controller, I get to add a lot of new "life" to my 
engine with many new sound effects.

As for the modifications, here is what I did:

Taking the entire engine apart was the most time consuming. It took 
lots of patience and time. I was fortunate to obtain a 
dailed "Disassembly Instructions" direct from Walthers. Without this, 
I would have been lost, as the boiler does not come apart easily. Once 
this was done, I was able to start my rework.

I removed the air pumb on the firemans side, and all the piping under 
the cab on both sides. I removed the 2 boiler halfs from each other 
and then removed the cab. I left the drive wheels and frame together 
in one piece.

Useing several photos of 6303(both sides)and other photos of the M3 
class engines, I was able to determine what needed to be added to give 
my engine a truely "Q" look.

On the firemans side, I added a Cal Scale 6203 "Q" Worthington 
feedwater heater, adding additional piping. A Cal Scale 6532 "Q" 
whistle and a Kemtron 31453 smoke stack - it is slightly larger than 
the stock smoke stack and I really think it looks much better on this 
larger engine. 

On the engineers side, I added a Cal Scale AP345 air pump and on the 
front I changed out the bell and marker lights using Cal Scale 285 and 
312. I also made a new air tank mounted under the front of the boiler 
using Plastruct round tubing.

For the tender, I extended the height of the coal bunker on the tender 
and added a ladder and handrail at the back of the new bunker. Other 
than adding a new coal load, that's about all I did. 

I painted the engine using Floquil paints and with the cab removed, I 
was able to paint the inside of the cab green - something that has 
always been hard for me to do on my brass engines.

I posted 5 photos in the "PHOTOS" section in our Yahoo Group site 
under an album titled "A Modified P2K 2-10-2". 

I really like the way it came out. I still need to weather it, to help 
bring out more detail and give it that "used" look, but I could not 
wait to get photos posted to share with you all. 

Any comments would be appreciated.
