UP Turbine Tender build

I thought a UP turbine tender would look nice with my new MTH 4014 Big Boy and the 844 I made. I found some pictures/plans online and altered them to suit my needs and skills, and 1/32 scale. Basic modeling with some ribs. Used some old printer plates I embossed for the outside. Top is metal duct tape. Used some #10 wire for the ‘pipes’. Did get on the rails after these pix, used cotter pins and wire. Decided to scratch build the trucks, so working on them now. Ordered some wheels from Gary Raymond. I’ll try doing the pix from the freight shed.
