Thanks Matt
I spent some time this morning tearing everything down for paint

Then I pulled out my airbrush and painted the boiler smokebox in Scalecoat graphite and oil

Since the airbrush uses so little paint and I would end up throwing out more than half of what I actually sprayed I did the other consolidation's smokebox as well.
I'll wait a few days for the paint to cure up and then mask and paint the rest of the boiler and engine parts.
