Removing glue from steam engine

Unglue by Bob Smith used SPAIRINGLY will take off the coupler.

Acetone or fingernail paint remover will break up superglue.

Give it a try.

Wait - the coupler is -glued- to the BB? It would have come with a scale, swing-out coupler on the pilot, would it have not? Screwed on, as a proper coupler would be, to be swapped with the big O-gauge coupler as needed. Odd. Maybe I've missed something (like

that never happens).

Be careful if you use acetone or nail polish remover. They will spften and distort plastic, and destroy paint.

I was trying to remove the glued on Kadee coupler to be able to use the big O scale coupler. I've got a premier UP844 northern that I would like to run in front of the big boy. In my opinion UP844 looks silly behind the big boy.

Glad it worked Matt. Paint generally tolerates non flame heat better than it does solvents. I was able to free a 2mm screw that had been Super glued in a block using heat without damage to either part.
