A little more progress
The headlight assembly has been mounted. That section of brass wire that was drilled into the boiler front really helps to strengthen up the mounting.
For the sand dome, The 2-10-0's came to the rescue once again. It was a smidge too tall so I cut it in half . The middle will be sanded down to a more pleasing height and glued back together.
For the tender, I bent, soldered and cobbled up a railing, grabs and cut leaver. The blank space above the coupler was filled in with a scrap of plastic with rivets embossed into it.
The "U" shaped hangers are for the fireman's tools, I'll get to those latter.
