spent the afternoon working on the L-1's plumbing, even got a large part of it finished.
Here is the fireman's side, The airlines and steam exhaust are in along with the straps on the air tank.
The engineer's side is a bit more complicated. On this side I needed to solder up the air lines, I copied a drawing from a Bowser repair manual glued it to a scrap of would and used it as a template to copy the bends. Their is also a sander control line running along the top of the boiler that was missing from the Bowser casting.
