C&O 2-6-6-6 H-8 ALLEGHENY RESTORATION - Scratch Building a new Pilot to Replace the Missing One

This is the start of a scratch built (mostly) pilot assembly for the Akane H8 that I am restoring. The pilot beam and foot boards are cast brass from Precision Scale. Everything from the pilot beam up, with the exception of the headlight is built from brass stock. These photos were taken after initial assembly, soldering is complete, now the piece needs to be filed and cleaned. Some pieces still require some straightening. Some small details still have to be added.
