Boiler was taped off to keep the original lacquer while cleaning off all the glue





The glue went a little past the sight glass cover, but is hardly noticeable and after a year or two when the brass dulls down it won’t be noticeable at all. I was able to flake off most of the glue with my fingernail. I believe the little bit of yellow/gold that remains is also lacquer and matches the safety valve and whistle. I didn’t want to get too carried away and remove the nickel






And she runs again, leak free  :)  Video tonight...
