Hats off to Stephen; shell came off easily; just got done examining the wires in my E6. There was no damage to the wires above the flywheel but since I was in there, I taped them to the top of the shell as Stephen did. Also noticed that there were some wires snug on both sides of the motor that were quite close to the flanges of the front wheels. Taped those to the side of the motor to keep them away from the flanges. Noticed that pesky capacitor that was missing from my Big Boy that made it run smoother - it was included on the E6. Lastly, in the last pic, I saw that the boiler shell was made in Korea. Tested the engine and all is well.
