@dkdkrd Bravo!
Did you dry it immediately? Have any problems with rust after cleaning? Did you apply any light oil to discourage rust?

Thanks! The day always seems to go better with a success!

And, no, I didn't worry about drying it. The weather took care of that!! Bright sun, 85°, light breeze, resting over baked concrete slab. Oiled the axles after dinner, reassembled the loco the following morning, made an adjustment to the smoke piston, poured a glass of wine to accompany writing the forum post.

If the weather hadn't taken care of the drying, though, I have a pistol-type hair dryer hanging by the paint spray booth. That's where/what I would have used. But the other Spring chores I used the pressure sprayer on begged for that hot, sunny, breezy day. All good!!
