Wait…“What brass” ?
It’s on the third pic down from the one you posted.
OK, we’ll try that.
In the meantime, Kid-zilla has been busily masking and painting. Today, he took on the steam chest. He had previously sanded away all the flashing. He partially masked it, allowing a little paint to get on his fingers as a compromise to allow for finer control.
It took two trips to the Palm of Spray Painting. He took the photos below and provided the commentary.
He was busy using markers to touch things up when the sun went down.
Today, incidentally, he didn’t wait for me to come home. He was already at it. I think someone see the end product already serving the Triple O!

Update:
Kid-zilla is hellbent for leather (my phrase, not his! 
) to get PCU-Bumblebee as ready as possible to receive a Delton cab (Thanks again, @David_Marconi_FOGCH !). I am finding myself increasingly out of a job, with cries of “I can do it! I know! It’s my project!” coming off the lanai (Mixed emotions, here, if I am to be fair…). The main effort over the latter part of last week was the boiler, which he masked and painted. He also staged some shots to get a sense of what PCU-Bumblebee will look like when she takes the rails. The following photos are his:
He got some overspray onto the rods and guides, which he declared, correctly, “looks like weathering.” The yellow trim paint that oozed under his masking job on the port side sand lines, however, he plans to correct, though whether by hand or spray paint, he has yet to decide.
We have to bring the railroad to full dress for a garden party we host for my coworkers each year, so Kid-zilla has time to think about that. That’s cool, as I owe him an operating pilot truck!
Updates as progress merits!
On Behalf of Kid-zilla,

P.S. He has allocated cash reserves for his next project. We’ve scoped it, and I provided most of the resources last year. I am not allowed to spill the beans! Summer vacation starts soon!
If you haven’t already, I’d put some small Bachmann wheels on that tender. The originals are a bit toy-like.
