Okay, so I got the two water pumps done and this is where it starts to get a little tricky, specifically the diagonal outflow pipe.

The pumps attach on the outer periphery of the cylinders and then to the slide mechanism, there are no receiving marks on the cylinder so it basically has to be, "eyeballed", there are 20 parts in each of these two pumps.

Here are a few images showing the pumps and then with them in place, next up is the piping.

Looking nice.

On the real thing, what were the wheels made of? Metal presumably?

Wheels were cast iron I believe...

Thank you - was wondering when I had my coffee!

Okay, I'm having a bit of a problem, I can put it out in x-ray view but they are low resolution, the other alternative would be to put out solid renderings of which I can put out at a much higher resolution, I would prefer the x-ray view but can't hang with low res, I'm going to have to work on resolving this issue.

Okay, so I got the water pump outflow piping done, here are a few images showing the piping and then with them in place, they run the length of the boiler now all I have to do is the tender or inflow piping followed by the connecting arms and brake lever and this thing is done.
