I recently purchased a small PFM 2-6-2 locomotive that has already been painted. My first question is, should I remove this current paint job before I paint it? Also, I need to make some modifactions to it to more closely resemble a prototype and one mod involves moving an airpump. The problem is, when this airpump is removed, it leaves a hole where it was in the running board. How can I fill this hole? I'm not the most advanced modeler yet, and I don't want to screw this locomotive up too much since I paid a bit for it. Also, what is the best way to attach new superdetail pieces to this model? Glue? Soldier? If soldier, what is the best type to use and where can I find flux for it? I have looked at radio shack but they dont carry it. Thanks for any help, Aaron
