Looks great! The extra details and the weathering are awesome! 
I have a comment about the front end, as you've already described. I am wondering if there's something preventing the shell from sitting back down properly? See the red circles in your photo below to see what I mean. While the feeds to the cylinders seem correct, there might be something preventing the shell from sitting where it is supposed to be, as evidenced by the high "cowcatcher" and the disconnect between the ladders and running boards.
I think the number board solution to the phillips screw head is a great idea.

EDIT - so my sentences make sense!
