Old AHM/Rivarossi 4-4-0 upgrading

[Schraddel]

At least i choose out of this cornucopia of details these parts:


This was the smallest headlight lantern and had also an mounting bracket.
The stack is also of the Diamond type, but in plastic.
Also i found in the depths of my grab box a very ornamental bell cage. For modern locos it is too ornamental, but here it seemed me just fitting right.





Meanwhile the headlight was drilled from the bottom and a small Super Golden White LED was inserted. This is a oil burner and the tone of the light shoul be more on the glowing side.
The bracket was soldered. Here the wires from the LED comint out of the bottom of the lantern will be pass through the hole and then disappear as inconspicous as possible into the smokebox.
The bell cage also was soldered and the bell itself placed into.





The bore in the stack at the lower end was bored out with a 3.5mm drillbit and fits then without any further need for adaptive work onto the existing socket. So the new stack could be easily fitted by using the original screw.
The bell was placed only loosely the check the effect it makes.

At least if anybody wonders why i did not answer to Bernhard (aka modelsof1900), of course i did. As we are both living in Germany, we have the benefits of a flatrate for telephonecalls. And so we did.
