Very nice to see the completion! Are you going to attempt more steam loco kits or detailing?
Andrew might be on to something regarding something being installed incorrectly on the front end. I can't recall if you used the stock mantua pilot or not. As for the screw, sometimes I have used a hex head screw on side rods because it is less noticeable than a phillips or slotted screw. I have to file the screw head to about half thickness, though.
