On30 / Removing cab of 2-8-0
October 26, 2009, 05:41:42 PM
I have a friends 2-8-0 consolidation that went through a house fire. His kitchen fell on top of it. Fortunately, the major damage was a lot of lime/calcium buildup on the piping that I was able to remove with a Q-tip soaked in vinegar.

The other problem is the side windows of the cab were pushed in. I managed to retrieve them, but need help to put them back in. How does the cab come off? I can see two small latches or catches on the underside that go through slots in the frame. The cab needs to be loose so that those latches can slide forward to pull out of the slots.

Has anyone removed the cab and if so, how did you do it?

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.
