Continuing with plumbing the boiler

I first added the compressor and the air line to the cab. the I added the injectors on both sides and the feed water piping. The water piping is .030 pipe and the smaller piping (air line) is .020. I was pretty lucky that my local hobby shop carries both sizes without having to order it in.

the engineer's side is a bit less complicated without the compressor there. I did buy some water check valves but they turned out to be much too large so I'm planning to build up the boiler end of the feed pipes to resemble them. I temporarily assembled the chassis and boiler so I can see where the blow down piping will go without interfering with the drivers. (it also helps balancing the boiler while I'm working on it.)

one of my next projects is to add the reverser. I'm pretty sure it will go here and I'm also going to remove the long throw-arm since the photos that I've seen don't have it.
