Satisfactory. But you already know that. -- Russ

I've been adding the last of the parts to the boiler. The water glass was built out of two Trackside Details small valve # 225 and brass tubing I also used small valve # 224 for the valves on the water system.I also added the Hubs on the wheels

The whistles are Trackside Details # 87. I used ¼" brass tubing to make the whistles bigger for the round top I used a ¼" bead. The photo of the parts gives you a good idea of what I did.

After the painting was finished I used Dullcote on the red engine and Glosscote on the brass engine.

Most adequate. -- Russ

Beautiful work on the piping ... including that perfect little curly-Q going up to the gauge.  The delicate chain on the whistle pulls certainly takes advantage of the larger scale well.  Wondered immediately why in the heck three whistles ... but I suppose having three tones would allow for quite an elaborate range of "vocabulary" to giving signals.  Anyone know for sure?  -- Dallas

Gordon,
Always wonderful :-)

Thanks guys. Ray the second engine will be painted green like the prototype. I carved the link for the exhaust pipe out of a piece of wood . I painted some of the small detail and did some weathering. Nothing is glued on yet so things are not sitting right.

Here's two photos of the new work.
