Accucraft C25 relocated tender connection and quick disconnect

Had some issues adding a disconnect to the line in the original location so it was moved to make the connection more in line with where the tender outlet hose is routed.

Used one of the disconnect bulkhead fittings and replumbed the water line to the check valve.

Jason’s modification works well, is an easy job and properly aligns the tender hose with the fitting relocated on the locomotive. The way it was configured at the factory was difficult to hook up, especially turning the compression fitting once you got the hose on. Even then, alignment was off causing either a kink in a left turn or a stretch in a right turn.
