Restore coming along nicely. Trying to decide on "bluing" the boiler or not. Removed all prior paint from the base & catwalks, had no idea the catwalks & rails are brass...what a surprise! Can't imagine why anyone would paint over the brass. Does anyone know what this valve is for? No threads so probably not for a whistle. Odd this engine doesn't have a whistle.
