Since our Soo Line GP-9 is actually a passenger unit, I finally got around to making the steam generator for the short hood. I made the base for the stack out of 1/16 flat brass plate soldered together, and the makeup air intake out of the same material by annealing it and whacking it in an oak die with a large oak dowel formed to the contour of the hood. I could have made it nicer with some thinner material but I didn't have any.
It is good enough for who its for.

The makeup air screen and hood are in the smaller cover on the right.

The only prototype photo I could lay my hands on, but it was enough.
