Its nothing to be scared of. you dont really have to bend it much more just ease it round the boiler. The body work is removable by taking out the 4 bolts (2 under each side tank) and then the 2 bolts in the back bunker (from the inside)

Hope that helps

Sir Haydn ,

Thanks to your good advice I managed to remove the body work on my Earl without damage. I slipped a couple of pieces of cardstock between the boiler and the tanks and it came off easily. I had to do this twice to see how to engineer  fitting  R/C on the reverser. I made a servo bracket that allowed me to use the existing reverser and clamp the control arm to the reach rod on the reverser.  I can still use the reverser control in the cab if something should go wrong. I don't like making things that can't be put back to original condition if needed.

The repaint will have to wait for awhile though.

Thanks again.
