Thanks, Nelson. I found it in Zephyr No. 56 which I believe was published in 
2008.

  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

    Ken:
     
    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,
