Key Big Boy.
Disassembly for painting.
After removing the boiler from the running gear, interesting in that the back lead weight was just 'snug' fit into the boiler so I was able to remove it, along with the front weight. A couple loose wires (piping) had to be re-soldered.
The cab was screwed on so it'll receive the green interior.
Since these are handmade, which means all parts may not be universally interchangeable, all moving parts are kept with their respective front/back drivers as well as the drivers.
Tomar marker lights added to the tender after the top/bottoms were 'nipped' off as they are caboose marker lights (or were!).
Two coats were sprayed on, today with the usual 200 degrees for 2 hours in the toaster oven with all wheels air drying.
