I'm working on a conversion of the On30 Consolidation. To see where I'm going, search:

Westernizing a Bachmann On30 2-8-0-new Banta Round-top cab

Instead of heading west, I'm aiming for a reasonable facsimile of No. 6 of the WW&F, predecessor of the SR&RL, or, perhaps the SR&RL No. 23, both outside frame units.

I'm just finishing up the Banta round-top cab and it occurred to me, how do I fasten the boiler/cab unit to the frame? The original cab has the two hooks at the rear that fit into slots in the cab floor with the cab screwed to the boiler and the screw in front holding the entire superstructure to the frame. But, with no hooks on the Banta cab, how do I secure it to the frame without permanently gluing it?
