Reply to "Adding and Removing Details on Die-Cast/Brass Engines"

I used a small torch on a Weaver boiler and it worked great until I got it too hot and a lot of details fell off, so be careful with the heat.  I haven't started putting it back together yet, but I'm going to try a 120 watt soldering iron and hope that works.

For diecast boilers (like Lionel) do you just file if off then carefully patch the hole?  The dome I want to remove is cast in, but if I remove it there will be a large hole in the top of the boiler.
