No books that I’ve ever seen, but lots of articles in MR, Craftsman and Mainline Modeler. Especially look for the 6-7 issues of RMC with the pseudo-series “steam from kits”.

Check out Narrow Gauge and Short Line Gazette; they have had numerous articles on fixing, adapting, repairing, etc. of brass locos. Sometimes they run a multi-part series on working on a particular model, but the techniques are valid in any scale. Back issues are available.
