Rebuilding an Aster GER O-6-0T

Step 1: Take everything apart.
Step 2: I haven't got that far yet...

Actually, this little locomotive is all back together and running like a champ. I lagged the firebox, "aligned" (bent) the piston rod on the oscillating cylinder per the instructions in an article in SitG, and crimped the silicon lubricator line at both ends to get the lubricator to actually lubricate. Lots of fun...
