The front pilot:
The pilot isn't actually glued to the frame because I need to detail it more with handrail, lift bar and hoses. Some sanding will be needed too. I followed my P2K 0-8-0 to model the new frame.
The new coupler box sit on top of the original pilot frame. You get the correct coupler height.
The original cylinder frame supporting the boiler was notched. It helps to keep the new pilot in exact position.
The switcher coupled with an Accurail 40' gondola.
Hope it may helps other people wanting to upgrade this little engine.
