The Broadway Limited C-16 2-8-0 in On30 was released
recently, and we've had our model for a week or so now. We took the model
completely apart for an examination, and have come to some conclusions
regarding the use of our brass parts to detail the model.
Most of our parts will require a modification of either/both the parts and
the model to attach them, in that some holes may have to be drilled or things
filed to allow the part to seat. With that in mind, we are listing a number of
parts we feel will help improve the looks of the model with a minimum of effort.
If you are unsure of what might be entailed to apply a given part, contact
us by email and we will be happy to discuss the matter.

be used, the bolster area would have to be made from styrene. Contact us directly

Sand and Steam Domes:
We have finished the patterns for the C-class style sand and steam domes. These
wiil be available shortly in both smooth and fluted styles. We will offer
the individual domes, as well as sets and also with fittings, giving the
