My 4-8-8-2 has a intermittant connection in it so I dove into taking it apart. Probably one of those small motor connection wires that like to come apart at the solder joint in model locomotives. It is ready to come apart but there is still one thing that is holding the upper and lower boiler halves from coming apart. About halfway down from either end as you look at the bottom there is a 7/16 ths diameter opening that is a bit over a half inch deep ending in some solder. Do you drill this out and it comes apart or is there another way I am missing? [:(]
