K-Line enthusiasts: can anyone tell me about the pilot on the B&O Pacific? Is it just a press-on fit? This is the first scale locomotive I've had, and the two photos show how the pilot arrived in the box/container. I was not sure if I should just press it back into place or add some type of adhesive. Thanks for any advice.

Not seen that before and I have a bunch on scale K-line steam engines. I would see how it fits. Try it a couple of times, then add a tiny bit of super glue. I really like Krazy glue with a brush. You really don't have to worry about adding a big glob of glue. If you can't get the brush type just put a little of this type glue on some paper and use a toothpick with a small amount of glue to the two holes. That should work well. Don
Well, darn. It must have had a heck of a rough trip, because it initially had no sound, either. I took off the tender shell and found the sound board loose inside. Works well now after plugging it back in. I have the locomotive setting now after super-gluing the pilot.
Thanks, all, for your help.
If it were my loco, I would use epoxy rather than super glue.
