Williams brass camelback has a defective sleuth smoke unit. Question, how does a person go about removing and replacing it? Removed boiler shell from frame but I don't see any screws to remove boiler front. sorry about shakey pics.

It is typical in brass steamers that the smokebox front simply "snaps" in. I am sure that there are exceptions, and I don't have this loco, but I do have several Williams brass steamers.
Use a knife blade - or your fingernail - under the bottom (to hide possible paint scratching) of the front to try to gently pry it off.
BTW - it is a "Seuthe" smoke unit. "Seuthe" is a German brand name and has an actual pronunciation that is simply amusing. ("soy-teh")
Thanks for your reply. will try and exacto blade
popped right off, thanks a bunch.
