Walthers/Life-Like 0-8-0 help needed

[jmlaboda - RIP]

I have a number of "brands in the fire" and such would be obvious if you belonged to some of the email lists I belong to, among them the possibility of kitbashing some interurban cars and detailing/kitbashing steam.  I am evaluating the possibility of kitbashing the shell of this switcher and need a straight on shot of the boiler from the top of the model to see how the boiler thickness is.  Any help would be appreciated!!!

I wish Walters would re-run these (and also offer tenders as a separate item).

I think the last production run was 6-7 years ago, so they are getting pretty scarce. Walthers did announce a new run a couple of years ago, but that was cancelled due to lack of pre-orders (their own fault since they've totally trained us all to wait for the inevitable "dump 'em cheap" sales event rather than order up front).
