David Johnston posted:Hi Tom, can you, or anyone else, help me with advice on how to get the front marker lights out without damaging them. In order to change the hand rails on the side of the boiler the marker lights need to be removed. I have tried a few things, but have not pushed it as I do want to damage the little castings. I would also prefer not to damage the black paint. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks, David Johnston
This may not work, but is there access to the inside of the boiler such that you can push them out from the inside? I'm wondering if their mounting hole is a through hole to the inside of the boiler? Worth a shot to check it out anyway. Kind of like pushing a bell out of a postwar steamer shell.
