Hi again, Lutz..
I took a closer look at your set-up for the front brake shoes on the T-12, and realised that your method allows easy removal of the cover-plate for the drivers, and all three sets of brakes at the same time, too - that's some very nice engineering.
That weathering of the left pedal for opening the firebox doors is a very nice, yet subtle detail. It indicates to me that the fireman is right-handed. If I were firing that locomotive, it would be the pedal to the right that would look well-used.
