I'm most familiar with the Bowser I1, and there are a lot of details that are not correct, i.e. washout plug placement, feedwater heater placement, stoker motor, etc.  There is also a lot of piping that you need to research and add to make the model anatomicaly correct.

Has anyone built a Bowser steam Kit? Is there any kind of advice for someone who has not done one yet? What tools should I have on hand to accomplish, drill bits, tap and die set. I have the standard model RR tools but not much more. I am wanting to do an H-9. I would also like to super detail it as much as I can. Should I super first than paint or the paint everything individually? Is there anything that I should change that is "wrong" for it to be better Pennsy? I have heard people talk about putting a can motor in one? Is that hard to do? Any mods I would have to make to the frame or kit? Also what can motor should I get or do they, Bowser, have a kit for that as well?
