This is the final product, minus the paint of course. I just needed to be patient and wait for the scotch weld to cure before trying to connect the link to the coupler.
As I mentioned in my last progress update, This is the leap of faith I was referring too. Up to this point its still completely reversible. It'll have an LED for the headlight just like before. I had to shorten it to get it to fit inside the can. I'm hoping that there will be enough light through the side hole for illuminating the side numbers.
I called Big Discount Trains in Jersey and have some "Smoke Box Gray" paint coming. If it's a match, Great! If not...I'll be repainting the whole front end of the engine, That way everything matches. So Stay tuned...More to follow.
