Air Line is run ! It crosses under the boiler right at the back of the smokebox, from the Fireman's side expansion tank
to the Engineer's side tank, and then back to the cab, and up throught the cab floor to the Brake stand.
I also got the tank straps in place and added the sand box cover handles ( top of boiler, and pilot )
In the first picture, at the top of the stack, to the right of the stack you can see what appears to be a white dot. That is the bracket for the Air Compressor steam exhaust. It still needs a little "dressing up" before it is done.
I'm thinking that I should paint the cab interior next, so I can get it attached. I should be able to mask / block off the window openings etc. to do the finish paint. There's just too many "breakables" on, and around the Backhead.

We always learn far more from our own mistakes, than we will ever learn from another's advice.
The greatest place to live life, is on the sharp leading edge of a learning curve.
Lead me not into temptation.....I can find it myself!
