That looks good Chuck. What unit number are you modeling? Thanks for then kind words Stephen...although I didn't didn't notice till I posted the pics that I managed to get one of the bracket braces slightly askew..grrrr, LOL. As for the loco number it's going to be the 2772H, simply because there are pictures of both sides of the prototype in Withers' "Diesels of the Southern Railway"  |

Chuck, I see one more problem. The mounting base for the bell, the injection molded plate is placed between the bell and photo-etched bracket. It seems like you have it placed on top of the bracket instead. See the images on my web-site for a close look, I will post some more in the resources site. Thanks, let me know if you can fix it OK. CJH DOHHHHHH!!! *slaps forehead* Actually read this this morning, and have since corrected my error. That's the nice thing about brass: a little nail polish remover to debond the ACC, scrape the the residue off with an Xacto blade, and make the correction. I have updated pictures, but my camera is being stupid on letting download them; I will try and get them up later. Chuck Yeargin |

I sure hope someone gets the rights to the molds on these from OMI, cause they are pretty much a "must-have" for Southern/NS modelers. Chuck Yeargin |

Guys, Here are the finished instructions. I do need some larger file images from Chuck (Hint, Hint) but as you can see, he did an awesome job. CJH Chris, just sent you some more pictures, and hopefully they are a little better than the last ones. As I said in the email I'm a little better at model building than I am at photography, LOL.
