Galen, What beautiful work! I'm impressed with how carefully you've removed the cast-on detail. It's shaping up to be an excellent project!
One major question is why didn't you have someone plate the drivers with nickel-silver to improve electrical conductivity? There are a couple of locomotive repair cottage industries that specialize in this.
I do really enjoy that you assembled the full valve gear!
Time well spent.
