Hi Guys,
                 Well here she is,my first ever B&O kitbash in HO.  B&O P7 5314. Mantua front end has been reevamped with correct amount of steps. New cab built from styrene, like wise the 12 wheel tender top. Used the original Mantua tender base but chopped and stretched it , removed some of the incorrect Mantua boiler details and various other bits and pieces. The model represents 5314 as she was in the early to mid 40s.  A later 1950s version woukld need some more rehashing to the boiler detail. The model aslo requires a front end bell and some bits and pieces but I'm fairly pleased with her.       DAVY
