How is the 2-6-6-2 articulated?  Is it like the prototype with a solid and floating engine or is it like most other non brass locomotives both engines pivot?

I would depending on the price.  Building it looks somewhat difficult for the superstructure.  The drive train probably could be done using two climaxs.

I just looked at Caboose Hobbies web page.  They are saying November delivery with DCC with and without sound.

Thanks, that helped.  I was unsure about a screw under the pickup pad.

I need to remove the boiler from the frame and it is not coming off.  It apprears to be stuck over the front truck, but I can find nothing that is holding it on.  How do you remove the boiler?
