The plans are out there and whatever they would require. I finally found a KEY K-1 and have thought about trying to make a mold of the dome and cast one in resin for my long awaiting 4-8-2.</div><div><br></div><div class="ydpc59ca8fesignature">Roger Huber<div>Deer Creek Locomotive Works</div></div></div>

Yep,<div>I’ve thought the same thing about that old Bowser sand dome as I’ve eyed for years kitbashing a Key K2a into a K1. It would require some filing to better replicate the N&W sand dome, but it seems doable. Of course, I haven’t figured out an easy solution for the “sport model” welded cab either.</div><div><br clear="none"></div><div>Andre Jackson<br clear="none"><div class="ydpbea03c3eyiv6293265350yahoo-signature"><a shape="rect" style="font-size:12px;" href="https://mail.onelink.me/107872968?pid=nativeplacement&c=Global_Acquisition_YMktg_315_Internal_EmailSignature&af_sub1=Acquisition&af_sub2=Global_YMktg&af_sub3=&af_sub4=100000604&af_sub5=EmailSignature__Static_" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Sent from Yahoo Mail for iPad</a><br clear="none"></div><br clear="none"><p style="font-size:15px;color:rgb(132, 115, 255);padding-top:15px;margin-top:0px;" class="ydpbea03c3eyiv6293265350yahoo-quoted-begin">On Friday, January 17, 2025, 12:34 PM, NW Modeling List <nw-modeling-list@nwhs.org> wrote:</p><blockquote class="ydpbea03c3eyiv6293265350iosymail"><div id="ydpbea03c3eyiv6293265350"><div>I may have found a Bowser part that might work:<div>70252 - small sand dome Ill Central</div><div>70253 - large sand dome Ill central</div><div><br clear="none"></div><div>I’ve been trying to find better photos. <br clear="none"><br clear="none"><div dir="ltr">Mark Lindsey<div>Y3a@earthlink.net</div><div>571-352-6358(cell)</div><div><br clear="none"></div><div><span style="font-size:17pt;"><br clear="none"></span></div><div><span style="font-size:17pt;">Sent from my iPhone</span></div></div><div dir="ltr"><div id="ydpbea03c3eyiv6293265350yqtfd78183" class="ydpbea03c3eyiv6293265350yqt8176232153"><br clear="none"><blockquote type="cite">On Jan 8, 2025, at 7:23 AM, NW Modeling List via NW-Modeling-List <nw-modeling-list@nwhs.org> wrote:<br clear="none"><br clear="none"></blockquote></div></div><div id="ydpbea03c3eyiv6293265350yqtfd33818" class="ydpbea03c3eyiv6293265350yqt8176232153"><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr">
