Back head detail:
I cut and soldered some brass sheeting to the boiler.
Used some Lenahan's back head detail kits that I've had for 20 (or more) years.
They had a 1052 and a 1053 (left to right) and the 1052 seemed to fit the back head best.
I used kwik JB weld to secure the back head to the brass stock and attach all the detail parts. Kwik JB weld sets up in 5 minutes and has metal particles so I'm hoping nothing comes loose if I strip the paint for repainting. The back head parts are cast pewter so no soldering can be done.
She's noisy but a good runner and back together for my next operating session in a few weeks.
