N&W 611 and other J Class Locomotive Cab Interiors

[NW Modeling List]

Thank you Ken,
I will go ahead and chrome the valves, brake handle, throttle, and gauge trims. I'm also going to paint the interior of the cab green. Thank you for all of your help.

Very Respectfully,
Joseph Congemi

I took a cab ride on the 611 in Spencer last May and was wondering if all the valves, stoker controls, brake stand, throttle, and reverse bar were chromed as delivered in 1950, or is the chrome new from the 2015 restoration? Any information and pictures will be of great help.
