Hello,
now the rebuilding process can be started:
At first all remains of the old soldering tin were removed by the means of a fast rotating silicone grinding wheel. The excessive soldering blobs inside the boiler too.
First attempts to fit the cab onto the boiler square failed. Usually the front wall of the cab will slide over the boiler jacket. This could be done here only under severe pressure and then there was great danger the cab tilted forward. If forced to the proper square seat, the whole shell becomes too short.
Then the task of a root cause analysis why cab and shell can't be fitted fitted angular together.
At least boiler and cab were fitting best together when they were placed edge-to-edge. But this allows only for a fragile soldering joint
Thinking ...
Then :
A auxilary device by the means of a piece of brass sheet. This allows the placing edge-to-edge and also enables a strong soldering connection.
The rear transverse traverse was fitted properly and square.
At least the wages of fear a'ka (Le Salaire de la peur; French Film 1953):
Ultimately the cab sits square!
