Looks nice overall, however. As they seemed to notice a bit late when they came to the museum earlier this year 315 and 318 have more differences than just the smoke box.

318 has a different cab, doesn't have an air tank on the engineers side, and the tender would be the one she had before swapping with 340 but still has the wrong trucks.
A good modeler could probably remove the extra air tank and live with the rest. But this was an oversight that could have easily been avoided with more research.
