Sumpter 250's duff challenge

[Sumpter250]

Blow off valves are installed, and the operating rods from the cab to the valve handles are also in. I added the washout plugs that came with the valve castings. I did have to slightly re-rout the air line back to the cab, it was in the way of the engineer's side blow off.
I added the pilot, coupler lift bar, and railing. I still have to build a set of pilot steps, and install them, For whatever reason, I had removed them, probably to use somewhere else.
Took the loco down to the old modules to do a quick "swing test" ( there is an 18" radius "S" curve on the "back-tables" behind the module skyboards ) everything looks good, "as is", so one less worry. There's still the tender steps for the back end of the tender, and a couple more railings, and/or hand grabs to put on, and the tender will be ready for paint-------pending a final * inventory of appurtenances *, to make sure that I haven't missed anything. ( :oops: I really do not enjoy having to add detail :oops: after the paint has been applied )
