Marx cab forward duplex, painted & complete!

finished my duplex locomotive this evening, got it running really nice! Both motors are quite evenly matched so I've eliminated the wheel spin issue I was having. Added grab irons & handrails. Front number boards and an E7 headlight with 19v LED. Next I'll work on a new larger oil tender but for now I'm running a smaller oil tender I made for the first 1666 cab forward I built a couple years back.
