Ken,
I did the article in the Zephyr on modifying a Walthers (Proto2000) 2-10-2. In 
fact, I did 2 mods. One with a Worthington Feedwater and the other with an 
Elesco Feedwater. 
Attached are photos of the 2 engines. I also modified a Broadway Ltd 2-8-2 
adding an Elesco Feedwater and did a Great Northern mod with the pumps mounted 
upfront.
Hope this helps.

Check the publication index. An article on this was published in The Zypher 
some years ago, but I don't remember when.

Hi Ken, I have done it on an N-Scale Concor 2-10-2.I used GHQ Mikado kit (I 
don’t know if it’s available in HO) for a Worthington feedwater and air pump 
and I also added some missing pipes.Later years photos show also a compressed 
air reservoir added in front (slightly underneath the boiler).The kit can be 
used to add additional features such as window-top shades. However one 
additional thing to consider which requires some work is that the prototype M3 
came with a USRA tender.That tender was modified very soon after delivery for a 
higher capacity coal load by increasing the height of the bunker walls (check 
photos) and I did that modification by using styrene pieces.I also added DCC 
sound into the tender. One good source of photos that can help you is Otto 
Perry’s collection of photos currently located in the Denver public library 
(accessible online). Good Luck, Dan    From: CBQ@yahoogroups.com

One thing you might want to bear in mind is that all 10 of the Q's class M-3 
USRA heavy 2-10-2s were leased to the C&S in 1927 following delivery of the 
first of the class M-4 2-10-4s and thereafter operated exclusively north and 
south out of Denver until the end of their service careers in the early 1950s.

  Last fall I purchased a Walthers USRA Heavy 2-10-2, which seems to be a nice 
locomotive, but appears to be pretty much as the prototypes were built. Has 
anyone had any experience trying to update it? To me the obvious things to be 
done would be to move the air pump to the engineer's side, move the power 
reverse forward and install a feedwater heater on the fireman's side. Has 
anyone tried this? If so, I would be grateful for any tips or advice anyone 
might have. Thanks and best regards, Ken Middleton
