I did not like the high headlight. When we were active with 4-8-2 SLSF 1522, I took one of our guys and went down to 2-10-0 SLSF 1621 at the Museum and moved the headlight down. I should have moved it down another 6", but just utilized old holes in the smokebox front. Looks better now.
The December 7, 2021 TRAINS e-mail newsletter has a link to a first person account by Production Editor Angela Pusztai-Pasternak about a cab ride in SLSF 1630. It covers impressions of the ride along with the subject of how a steam locomotive can be like a woman.
The 1630 is featured in this video from Memorial Day weekend 2022 at the Illinois Railway Museum. Bob T.
