Looks like ssls had 2 designs that could work at 88". One was for (among other engines) the AF Hudson conversion, and the other was for the PRR K5 conversion.
That would be great. Claud as I remember made some boiler fronts that could be modified by filing. Especially the heavy and light Mikado but it's been a long time and memory could be faulty.
Thanks for looking.
Hi John,
I have been super busy with paint and brass work to look for and measure smoke box fronts. Sorry for my delay in response.?
I was thinking about your turning down a 98¡± to a 88¡±. Wouldn¡¯t that cut the line of rivet detail on the out side radius off? Or darn close to them? ?
I thought 88¡± sounded familiar, so I measured one of my heavies. It measured the 88¡± you¡¯re looking for.?
I have one in my used parts bin I believe should work for you.?
