Laughing sadistically…
Bruce you need to find a hobby!
OK. Got a bit more done on the engineer’s side. Whistle and pop valves added, clean out plug, and started work on the linkage for the Johnson bar, as well as a tank for the glonkerlator.
I have been trying to figure out how to connect the tender water lines to the locomotive and finally sat down and figured out a solution. Started with a bunch of brass tubes, each of which can slide into the other. A Plastruct tubing cap, some magnets and NBW. I also have some black surgical tubing which is very flexible. I glued one of my tiny cylindrical magnets into the tubing. The brass was cut to length and a slot cut into the largest tube to hold the magnet.
Assembled, it looks like this. The black surgical tubing will come from the tender; the brass rod on the right will be attached to the loco.
The surgical tubing fits into the brass tube and is held in place by the magnet.
It should look better when it’s on the locomotive. 
Super piece of work Bruce. Great idea on the magnet
Really great work Bruce–first rate. I’m going to find another hobby!
I THINK I’m done with the engineer’s side. I’ve probably left out something important… There IS a lot more that I could add, but I think this conveys the impression of a locomotive.
Looks fantastic Bruce.
Ralph
Simply Amazing. I should have mentioned this before, but those domes are really nice too!
I ditto Ralph and Jon!!!
Randy
Very nice! Is it done yet?

Superb looking work Bruce. In the next to last photo one steam line goes straight down to the trailing truck. What’s it’s purpose?
Thanks guys. Almost done, Brian.
David, that’s the overflow…

Yes, I can understand THAT Here, then, is the statement:

Rooster in wine sauce 
Looks like something my dog barfed up this morning and then ate again.
Randy
LOL!
I kinda agree with Randy!
However that may compliment a “Haystack” quite nicely.
David Marconi said:That is the Injector overflow pipe.......An injector is essentially a steam power vaccum pump.....steam is shot through the injector at pressure creating a vacuum that draws water from the tender into the boiler....sorta like when ya siphon with a hose and have to spit out the first mouthful of water......

Bruce and Bart thank you both for the clarification.
Hehe. Believe me, this has been a real learning experience! These things are complicated!
I am MUCHO Impressed!!!
Bruce is my Hero!!!
