I've installed the vertical boiler and the steam piping

I decided to use the left over bits from the steam pipe install to create a pile of steam pipes with fittings on the ground behind the boiler

I added a few details to the pulley tower end as well

This is as far as I am going to go with this sub-assembly for now. When it is planted along with the rest of the sub-assemblies I will add more scenery and details.

Nice job Jeff, you've been making a ton of progress on this kit.  I'll have to pop mine open and take a look at what's in the box.  There's a lot going on there, more than I imagined.  Mark

More fantastic progress, Jeff. Watching you discover all the little details is such a joy. Thank you for continuing to share your build here.

Hello Mark, you should open that box, there's a lot to look at and maybe you'll be inspired to start work on the kit.

Hello Mike, I think that this part of the kit is the most interesting to build. Craig did a wonderful job with the design and the instructions and templates that come with the kit. And I am having fun.

Hello Rich, thank you for looking in and for the feedback. The detail that has been built into this kit is amazing. I've been very impressed with the 3D printing that is possible these days. It makes building a kit like this a lot of fun.
