Someone knows how to bend tube! Beautiful work Chris.

[Steggy]

Speaking as someone who was trained at the Parker factory on the fine art of plumbing a high-pressure hydraulic system and making it look good, I must commend you on the quality of your work. There's a certain amount of charm and beauty in plumbing that looks like that.

Very nice Chris!

Hello Chris,
Both cab and tubing are looking beautiful and precise ! Should be real fun riding that engine when under steam.
Please continue reporting your progress, thanks a lot.

Is your cold water pump a dummy with the injector feeding through it? Cool idea.

[Chris Hollands]

Yes the injector goes through the dummy feed water pump , there were a few questions about that from Mike V and after that I approached Anthony (eccentric engineer ) with the question and sent photos , he said it should be fine , time will tell .

[Chris Hollands]

This is a better shot of the dummy pump i think , there is quite a void in the water end of the pump that the injector is attached to and I have sealed the internals for the water flow , so I thought the water should pass though with minimal flow loss and it really came down to space as well - kill 2 birds with one stone .

Chris, your Challenger is really looking good. I have been watching your build since you posted pictures of it on Live Steam Homepage which seems like 20 yrs ago? I always enjoy seeing your updates and it looks like it won't be too much longer till you get to steam it.
Nice work!
