Spectacular!  Very nice work.

Thank you @bob2.  To help complete the finished look of a classic brass locomotive the modern K-Line #4-40 black Philips screws were changed out on the chassis, fuel tank and side steps.  Brass #4-40 x ¼” slotted pan head screws were ordered and reinstalled at all these locations instead.

Also changed out were the black Phillips head screws used on the side frames.  Now those locations have brass pan heads.

A #4-40 x ¾” long round head brass screw was used to hold the front coupler to the K-Line chassis. Matching brass washers and a spacer were installed in locations as needed.

My visitors may never see these little brass details underneath the locomotive... but I know they are there!  🙂
