Try the link to the Waltons Models web site from Shed. They cover boiler removal and separation pretty well
They are a little like one of those 3D wooden puzzles..
Hope the above links have helped?
The pipes either side of the smoke box, pull out from the chassis.
The water filler funnel, pulls out at the bottom, and the? Safety valve-thing? In the front of the cab, pulls out of the cab, and up out of the boiler.
I *think* that is it?
The boiler is then squeezed/twisted, to separate it from the cab..
If you do it, the first time, without any loss of blood, I think you can give yourself a pat on the back.

Yes the boiler cab end has to be squeezes or prized with a small flat blade screwdriver to pop the boile from the cab it doesnt slide up and out as one would expect from the groove it is in. then anothe judicious use of a small flat balde screwdriver to pop the bottom off the boiler you cant press the lugs in as i would have wxpected.
