I somewhat take liberties sometimes when making trains, especially when doing locomotives using only photos.
You're "trying to get them right," right?
You can get what you need from photos, and knowing how other engines were built. The engine frames of the four Baldwins differ really only in number of axle boxes. Don't underestimate yourself! I believe the "slab" frames are incorrect--I thought the ones you used earlier were more accurate. But it is hard to see in some photos.
Take some time to do a little research, and you'll be rewarded with wonderful-looking--and accurate--works! It may not happen overnight, but you're not in a race, right?
Steve Burns has compiled a lot of photos, including detail photos, and engine statistics, which can be found here:
