Great job! I'm impressed. I just bought a Proto 2000 Heritage 0-6-0, but it didn't come with instructions. I've read that the instructions include info on replacing the lighting, as you have done. I wonder if you would mind sharing how it's supposed to be done. This is the most detailed engine I've ever handled, and I don't want to break anything. I've managed to get the boiler loose, but I can't see how to remove the cab, so I don't know how to correctly remove the boiler to get at the headlight.
Hi and thanks for commenting. There are many high grade epoxy's on the market. I have found that the longer setting products once cured are stronger then the 5 min epoxy's. And you typically get what you pay for. If its cheap it probably wont be very strong. The automotive trade has products that are very strong and are called panel adhesive. 3M makes a real good one.

Nice work!
What is a good high grade epoxy? Thank you.
