Every locomotive needs a nice "face" and I don't feel that some moulded whitemetal or plastic "hands" do the job.
Luckily there are several makers of turned brass versions that are easy to use and improve the front end hugely. The biggest problem is locating them in the Mainly Trains web site. These are Gibson ones bought at a show but I have used Romford ones in the past. For all I know they may come out of the same factory !
Never sure what position to put them in I copied a photo of the locomotive under construction which is what proper modeller are supposed to do I'm told...
