I mounted the Bachmann cab on the boiler. I did have to enlarge the opening for the boiler though, but it was easy using the original cab as a template. I will also have to add a new mount for the cab as the Bachmann one will now line up with the MDC's. You will also notice the red marks on the side of the boiler, those are drilling marks for the feedwater piping.

Speaking of feedwater piping, I started to add those as well. The CN engine does not have exposed injector fittings so the pipe come straight out of the cab. I cut the pipe off the injectors and added some .040 styrene rod to lengthen them.

I've started to glue the piping to the boiler. I left the plastic pin on the valve fitting and glued it into place. I'll continue to glue it to the side of the boiler to line it up with the cab (red lines towards the back of the boiler.)
