Is there anywhere on the web where we may see a photo of a K4 with it's headlight in the center of the smokebox door? I looked through the Keystone Crossings website, and found a K4 photo archive with photos of every K4. I didnt look at them all, but I did look at all, west of Pennsylvania, and they all had the headlight mounted either at the top of the smokebox front, or on top of the smokebox. (Except for streamlined locos).
I havent seen my K4 in almost 20 years but IIRC there is a plastic light guide to the headlight. You would have to find a way to pipe the light into the new location.
