Steam Train Boilers- ideas anyone

[Coal Fired Bricks]

I've been building a Boston and Albany 4-6-6t and have done the firebox, cab, and the coal/water bunker. Though I haven't found anything round(ish) looking for a 6(ish)stud diameter boiler.

Ideas, pics, suggestions wanted.  

Thank You

This should also help:

Wow perhaps the heaviest tank engine ever..

Interesting the way you'll use for the bunker bogey

anyway what about the Cylinder Half 3 x 6 x 6 with 1 x 2 Cutout bricklink 87926

Yes, I know this is an older topic and everybody hates when an 'old' topic is bought up but this is only a week old so it doesn't count.

 

Here is what I came up with for a 6 wide dia boiler

I'm pretty happy with it and the tiles with grooves (don't know the name) fill in the gaps between sides of the boiler.

Interesting variation, having them at an angle. They're known as door rails:

Oh, and a week does not count as an older topic. People get annoyed when you drag up topics from many months or even years ago.
