Newly Re-Cast Smokebox Cover

On the old one they drilled through this piece to mount a headlamp; which eventually caused mechanical failure--it cracked, and the crack spidered out. To avoid that problem, this one was cast with a mounting plate.

 

This thing is cast iron, and it weighed enough that I couldn't budge it. I'm a bit wispy, it's true.
