I spent some time this afternoon stripping the engine down

The tender steps were broken so I glued them back together and spent some time figuring out the cab/boiler fit. it looks like they will go together fairly well, the opening in the front of the cab is the same diameter as the boiler so there's just a bit of cutting and trimming on the running boards.
While I was disassembling the engine I also found that I'm missing the yoke that holds the ends of the crosshead guides.

I hope to track that down as well. I'm sure someone out there has a few parts in their stash.
