In late December of 2017, it was also revealed that Joey Bada$$ had co-written the track as well as penning an extra verse after Music Mafia leaked the original version of the song. The preview received thousands of retweets on Twitter over the course of the year, so the track was highly anticipated by the time it finally dropped. Post previewed the song in December 2016, nine months before he released it, by posting a video of himself jamming to it in the studio. Along the way, he references real events in rock history, name-drops Bon Scott and Jim Morrison, and highlights rockstar traditions like throwing TVs out of hotel windows. On “rockstar,” Post Malone compares his habits to the “live fast, die young” rock and roll lifestyle. bitches always askin', "Where the coke at?"

But for those who have built their locos already and are waiting on parts it a bit more of a challenge.Hahahahaha Tank God Ayy, ayy I've been fuckin' hoes and poppin' pillies Man, I feel just like a rockstar (Star, ayy, ayy) All my brothers got that gas And they always be smokin' like a Rasta ('Sta) Fuckin' with me, call up on a Uzi And show up, man, them the shottas ('Tas) When my homies pull up on your block They make that thing go grrra-ta-ta-ta (Ta, pow, pow, pow, ayy, ayy) Switch my whip, came back in black I'm startin' sayin', "Rest in peace to Bon Scott" (Scott, ayy) Close that door, we blowin' smoke She ask me light a fire like I'm Morrison ('Son, ayy) Act a fool on stage Prolly leave my fuckin' show in a cop car (Car, ayy) Shit was legendary Threw a TV out the window of the Montage Cocaine on the table, liquor pourin', don't give a damn Dude, your girlfriend is a groupie, she just tryna get in Sayin', "I'm with the band" (Ayy, ayy) Now she actin' outta pocket, tryna grab up on my pants Hundred bitches in my trailer say they ain't got a man And they all brought a friend (Yeah, ayy, ayy, ayy)
The simple answer for those who haven't built it yet is to proved a complete firebox assembly. I can do a trumpet and safety valves for the smaller diameter firebox but the bottoms of the safety valves would be hanging in mid-air not attached to the firebox. I think that the etched firebox provided, on the etch, matches the diameter of the later loco boilers ie post 1890 not the early ones.
Then I came across a photo of the cab of a Barclay box tank, at Overwood Quarry, which shows a bigger diameter firebox, still on the same centre line. It has the bigger diameter firebox compared with the boiler. My suspicions were raised when, as suggested, I had a look at the Springside Nieson loco. I found out why while I was having problems drawing the safety valves on the side of the trumpet.
It is about the correct size for the later post 1890 locos. In the process of designing the 3D parts for the etches I have found a fundamental error with the firebox in the etch.
