It was a bit tricky. The solder wouldn't work with me unless I added some flux paste and I had to hold the one side down with some scotch tape while I tacked the first end down. But I do think it looks better than it did before. I also added some filler putty to the underside of the stairs.

Just in case any were wondering how I held the engine while soldering....
