Locomotive work cradle Locomotive Work Cradle
When you are working on a locomotive you should use some type of work cradle.  This will keep your loco secure, and reduce the risk of damaging it's top exterior. 
I also included some jelly jar lids, as a convenient place put those small parts as you disassemble your loco.


I left out the dimension between the 2x4s, that will depend on what type of padding you use. You may want to use some old towels or a piece of carpet.  Foam is good as an under layer.
