Thanks, Michael Mash, your kind words encourage me to keep going. Today it's the turn of the steam boiler.

Hello Lachezar:
Is this the steam locomotive you are building? (image below)
Wonderful design project. So you are able to go to Sofia Central Station and look at this locomotive, and perhaps take notes and measurements?
Bravo! It is enjoyable to follow your project.

Michael Mash, you pleasantly surprised me with this photo. As I wrote at the beginning, this locomotive is on display in front of Sofia Central Station and is only one metro stop from my home. This allowed me to take a lot of pictures and measurements. I also used some original drawings.
Here are some pictures of the locomotive and one picture of my model for comparison.

A few more photos from the construction of the locomotive.

This is a fine set of photos. There is a lot of wonderful detail shown in the 5th photo, of the interior, with the controls and the steam dials. Also, the reflectors inside the lights look very authentic. Great work.
