After getting the Oriental Limited 2-8-0, and ignoring the Bachmann one, I decided to take a closer look at the Bachmann and see what needs to be done to make it look more like a family member.
The 3 biggest issues with the Bachmann is the running gear, the domes and the cab roor details.
Of the three, I feel like I can fix the sand dome, and I have started on the roof.
