Thanks Paula!

There was a tiny leak around the pumper fitting on the tank.  I got it sealed but it isn't very pretty.  That fitting is very close to the front plate and the steam fitting, so I barely got it hot enough so the solider did flow pretty around the seam.  I should have just dabbed some Super Glue on it.

I also got the whistle pretty much straight last night, I used an allen wrench to aline it better (removed the whistle lever to put in wrench through its hole), which also lifted up the dent some more.  It is hardly noticeable now - though the crap finish helps hide it too LOL
