A couple other things I noticed, in addition to what Wayne said:
- this loco appears to have a jacketed smokebox, as I see no rivet lines delineating the smoke box from the rest of the boiler.
- between the turret shroud and the auxiliary dome is a dynamo (electrical generator).
Personally, I would cut of the dynamo and check valve and replace them with brass castings, and file off all the piping and replace that with brass wire. Getting rid of the feedwater components or doing more work to the smokebox would be more difficult.
