Last night, I started to experiment with cutting the sand domes for the K1’s and the N1’s. I plan to build two N1’s and a pair of Reading built K1’s. So I’ll need to make eight domes.
I’ll post more photos as I work out the process to make them.

Prototype: Reading RS-2 #583 Philadelphia, PA
One of the models on the progect list is the Baldwin AS-16’s with dynamic brakes.
Information on the short hood has been hard to come by. They spent most of their lives working were few photographers went. Also they were often MU’ed with short hoods together. He is a negative of Reading 583 later in life, looks like mid 60’s based on the green and yellow locomotive in the background.
While this isn’t the sharpest image in the world, it is another piece in the puzzle.
