I'm still trying to figure out how to get the 2-10-2 apart. Found two tiny screws that hold the rear of the superstructure on, below the cab, but I'm totally lost trying to find anything in the front that holds it together. I know Peter sent me instructions on how to take it apart 20+ years ago, but they went with the model when it was sold the Bob Hess. Apparently between Hess and Seacrest the instructions were lost....and so am I.  So it's been relegated to the RIP track for now.

Most of the KTM UP I've seen there is a screw to release the the smoke box from the cylinders that can be accessed from the top down directly through the smoke stack.  

Since the Bassett TTT has the details inside the smoke box, the injector nozzles cover the spot where I remember the screw to be. I wonder if that piece pops off to reveal it.  

It also looked to me like the the interior detail was a separate assembly he made that then slid into the smoke box like a sleeve.  Perhaps does the whole inside slide forward and out?

Maybe Peter just soldered it somehow. So many details.

Also I seem to remember a screw being on top of the sand dome of either the 5077 I sold to Aaron or the KTM Mountain I have.

I have the "project" TTT I picked up to replace the Bassett, I'll pull it out tonight and take a look. Maybe the stock one will shed some light on where you can look.
