Thank you everybody! I'm glad I waited a little bit before moving on.
@Lutz: I gave some thoughts about your suggestion and everything worked fine. The pilot beam is actually glued on the frame. I had to cut the small platic tab to make room for the coupler box. Then I hollowed the front pilot to insert the coupler box. Everything was glued back to the locomotive frame using styrene sheets. All in all, it was a very easy modification that took about 40 minutes to complete. And which will make operation a lot easier.
I'll post some pictures later... I "should" be able to complete the detailling by the end of the week.
