Getting Narrow M... ähh... Gauged

Hello,

after a careful examination i figured out here is nothing done with some bending to straighten out the cab.
So the decision fell to remove the cab and retrotfit iit straight.

First the injectors on both sides were removed. 
The cab is partly submerged under water for cooling purposes while soldering with a torch. A delicate affair to unsolder only those soldering joints you want and leave the rest intact.

Then the firebox sides and the partial cab floor on both sides were unsoldered.

At least the cab was separated from the boilershell. Some collateral damage during the brass butchering was unavoidable.
