C&O H7 Kitbash

[SiegesEven88]

Alright So I am trying to figure out about wanting to make a C&O H7 out of bits from the K3, K2 (from Steam) and H8 (From Ben Neal.) so what pieces would go with what since I am trying to figure the in's and out of kit bashing and how to not mess up.

I mean I could reskin a Mallet C&O (From NALW Trainz) but where is a 2-8-8-2 that I could download and work from @Forester1

There are some version 2.9 assets on the DLS:
<kuid:653172:100602> NP USRA 2-8-8-2 Tender
<kuid:653172:100677> NP USRA 2-8-8-2 Tender #4501
<kuid:653172:100864> NP USRA 2-8-8-2 Tender #4502
<kuid:653172:100870> NP USRA 2-8-8-2 Tender #4503
<kuid:653172:100865> NP USRA 2-8-8-2 TS12 #4502
<kuid:653172:100601> NP USRA 2-8-8-2 TS12
<kuid:653172:100676> NP USRA 2-8-8-2 TS12 #4501
<kuid:653172:100871> NP USRA 2-8-8-2 TS12 #4503
I also have these, but when I look at the config.sys it just credits Ben Neal at Subpar www.steammachine.com/bdaneal
<kuid:674557:100368> NP Z-4 2-8-8-2 4503
<kuid:674557:100371> NP Z-4 2-8-8-2 4503 Tender
I am also thinking that TrainzForge may have some, as they have a lot of steam locomotives. Probably worth checking out, as they may be newer versions.

EDIT: I also found these on the DLS, they are version 3.7, and there may be more:
<kuid:327871:102751> Texas & Rio Grande Western 2-8-8-2 front bogey #2408 (14)
<kuid:327871:102755> Texas & Rio Grande Western 2-8-8-2 front bogey # 2416 (14)
<kuid:327871:102758> Texas & Rio Grande Western 2-8-8-2 Tender #2408
<kuid:327871:102752> Texas & Rio Grande Western 2-8-8-2 Tender #2416

Well @Forester1 I am trying to do a Kitbash from converting a CPR H1B into an H1A before I do an H7 because with the Kitbash I am trying to add smoke deflectors

Thread 'CPR H1A Bowen Hudson Kitbash Help'

Jan 22, 2025

I am trying to do a kitbash of a CPR H1B Hudson Steam Locomotive into an H1A and I keep getting an error message saying I got the wrong KUID since I am trying to experiment how to add smoke deflectors to the locomotive like how TF (Trainz Forge) has the Bowen Hudson's (The H1A variant) with the smoke deflector's since I am using the smoke deflectors from the NYC Mohawk reskin/kitbash (From The NALW site). And I need some help since I am using the CPR H1B Engine from themohers. (More specifically the H1A is what I am going for kitbash wise).

Actually @Forester1 I downloaded BNeal's USRA Mallet, I am trying to figure how do I add the bell, number plates, the bar thing on the top of the H-7 as well as I have tried kitbashing something earlier and it didn't work.

That might be a question for the folks down in the content creation support forum below. I don't have a clue, but maybe someone else does.

@Forester1 You mind telling me where it's at just in case for later, so I am not going here and nether trying to look for it.
