Your revelation is revolutionary, Earl -
An oil-burning narrow-gauge cab-forward! WOW!! And converting a K-28 is the perfect choice, on account of the air pump on the smokebox
front face, just like on all of S.P.'s cab-forwards from AC-6 on. (IIRC, the earlier ACs had their air pumps on one side of the boiler and the feedwater heater on the other side, and the AM 4-6-6-2's were similar.) Hopefully someone with better Phraud-O-Shop skills than I have will combine the photo JBWX posted above with some shots of #18 and #473/6/8 to give us a sneak preview

p.s. If the D&S goes through with this, I wonder how much I'll have to bribe Jeff Ellingson to paint her jacket Moffat Green?
