I've also cut out the front of the boiler/smoke box.
I have a beautiful cast brass one from Weinert.
The light casting is soldered in and I had to modify that first to be able to
fit an Led and then mill a channel for the wires into the underside. Second photo.

WOW, awesome work Jörg.....

Yea, like Ed said, making the rest of us look bad.
Going to be one awesome looking Loco once done......

but there is still home for me, I still have a D51 Gauge 1 full brass to build, one day...... 

Cheers, Evert

Hi all,
thanks for the positive comments.
I've been spending time on the tender.
First I removed and opened the cast on water hatch.
Then I made a brass ring and prepped the Weinert water hatch with a hinge.
My plan is to have this working with a small servo in the tender. 
Then I removed the cast on lights and hand rails.
Replaced with brass parts.
The lights will get individual Led's.
