Im building in 1/4" On3. Im using a kemtron kit to start with as most of the parts are available form it. All i have to make is boiler, smoke box front, backhead, and slant base sand dome. For manns creek 8 i have to extend a kemtron frame 2 feet.

If you have an idea how to build this boiler, make a drawing for me as a suggestion, im open to ideas. Im still brainstorming how to do it since it has a rear slope and. Im not sure exactly what the shape is.
