Hi Gil,
 
You are also missing the glass gauge metal protector that I am missing on my engine too. Please let me know if you will contract someone to manufacture it for you as I would like to have one for mine.  Klaus engine was the first edition and was missing the burner and no door, it also had the high and low pressure cylinders reversed with the high pressure cylinder away from the boiler. Marklin corrected this flaw later as with your engine and mine.
Here is some more photos that can help you complete yours.

Thanks for these pictures, Mike.
And thanks for pointing out the missing glass guard.
I may need to replace the handles on the valves too.
 
Does yours have a round feed water pump or a squared one like Klaus's and mine?

I have the same square pump on mine too. All the paint on yours is original enamel paint. I would not touch it. Good luck.

This is my thinking too. I will just give it a thorough cleaning.

:shock:
Please note that this compound (photo above!) has the low-pressure cylinder (the larger one!) close to the boiler and the smaller high-pressure one facing the viewer! A rare (and extremely expensive) version!
 
Redryder's engine has the more common lay-out: high-pressure facing boiler, low-pressure on the outside.
 

 
I can imagine you are pretty nervously expecting its arrival. May I recommend a dose of Lagavulin 16yrs, at discretion!
