UP 4-6-6-4 challenger imported by Tenshodo in 1999 repair (cont) and CNJ 4-6-4T disassembly.
==========
UP 4-6-6-4 challenger 'touch up' painting.
Black on the 'piping', red on the valve handles and brass on, well, the brass!
It, usually, takes about 3 'touch ups' plus 2 hours at 200 degrees, each time.
And white on the 'dials'.
======================
CNJ 4-6-4T imported by PFM (UNITED) in 1969.
Some warm weather for the next few days so I decided to paint this engine.
It's all black so should be an easy 'paint job'.
Drilled out all the headlights and marker lights for LED's using a #57 drill bit in my hobby drill press.
These old engines are built sturdy so no worry about 'twisting' the marker lights while drilling them.
2 holes drilled under the running boards.
Tender head light drilled and drilled 'right through' the marker lights into the back of the tender so it will be easy to insert the LED's.
Disassembly.
