A new progress photo:
![[Image: 0014.jpg]](http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q253/iis612/0014.jpg)
The pilot is nearly complete, it is missing the coupler and the cut lever. The cut lever was too short, so I will have to make one, or add some length to the original.
The boiler is not comletely seated. It will be after it is track tested. I know that it looks rusty in the pic, but that is because I am a bad photographer.
The trailing truck is complete, and attached.
The one thing about this line of kits is that the drive gear is visible. I can get past it, but it is annoying.
Tomorrow I will be working on the pacific, and maybe laying some rail. It depends on how my wrists are feeling. They are quite sore after making dinner today.
I have to admit, even though this build is going slower than I would like it to (due entirely to me), I am having alot of fun putting it together. I am already very proud of it.
