Inside one or more of the side 'tanks'? I’d have built it with a bigger cab, two J72 cabs back to back, with coal bunkers inside on the fireman’s side and possibly occupying some of the water tank space, with a loading hatch on top. Fairlie cabs are quite large in general proportion to the loco as a whole. Edited August 12, 2022 by The Johnster 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
