Doing two other engines that don't have number boards.

Except for red cab roofs and silver smoke boxes/fire boxes, these engines are a lot quicker than the multi-colored GN S-2.

Burlington O-5B and O-5 4-8-4's.

Drilled holes in back head for light and also one on each side of boiler for driver lights.

All the engines were, previously, had the headlights and marker lights drilled out on the engine and tender.

Oriental Limited O-5B;

Usual steps of cleaning and masking before painting.

In the toaster oven for 2 hours.

Overland O-5:

The Overland O-5 had a few parts that needed re-soldering.

One tender step was loose and a water injector (?) was in the box and goes under the cab.

The tender brass stock used to hold the under carriage came loose and one hand rail on the front steps also needed soldering.

Presently, the GN S-2 and Burlington O-5B have two coats of black and the O-5 is 'cooking' in the oven.
