If he is, I hope his ears are burning.
As promised, here's a quick shot of the reassembled locomotive. I know it's none too clear, but it was hand-held in available light. When the whole thing is done, I'll post a better image:

One thing that has struck me as I've begun working on this locomotive is what a nice model of the real thing it is. Proportions are good, faithfully capturing the oversized boiler of the real K5. Detail isn't bad, either. AC Gilbert was right when they claimed their locomotives were more realistic than their contemporary competition. The only thing that isn't what it ought to be is the size of the drivers, which I think are too small (I didn't bother measuring them to be certain).
