As for your question, here's a picture that Brett sent me of one of Brian's models. It's a little hard to see but there is a hose/pipe that runs from the tank to the boiler along the ground. Where or how it connects to the boiler I don't know. If you place the boiler along a wall you can run this hose to the back and not really see the connection.

You can see how the big hose goes from the tank to the top of the boiler. I don't remember where I found the model but am almost sure it was a prototypical way. Country: France | Posts: 17652 Hopeless Fireman Posted - 12/18/2011 :  11:36:10 AM     Thanks for the photos Rick and Frederic. There will be a unseen back side so I will run the piping back there and hide it a little. Here is a photo of the finished concrete pour. The color you see has not had any paint or chalks applied yet. Now to finish the piping between the boiler and engine and add a few details then wait for SW to send the goodies.

The concrete footings are the perfect extra touch, Roland. Country: USA | Posts: 2793 Frederic Testard Engineer Premium Member Posted - 12/18/2011 :  1:00:08 PM     I like the concrete, Roland. How did you make it? Plaster? Country: France | Posts: 17652 CieloVistaRy Fireman Posted - 12/18/2011 :  1:00:48 PM     Roland, Your boiler is excellent. I love the rust streaks. I did a little looking around and could only find this illustration: Does not seem to show anything about where the water goes in- but Frederic's and Rick's solution seem to be very sensible.

I'm saving that one. Frederic. The cement is actually cement. Hydrolic cement from Drylok. A very fine powdered cement that is mixed with water into a soup and poured into a mold. Roland Country: USA | Posts: 1922 Frederic Testard Engineer Premium Member Posted - 12/18/2011 :  8:06:20 PM     Thanks for the answer, Roland. I didn't expect that it was the real thing, I must say. Country: France | Posts: 17652 TRAINS1941 Engineer Premium Member Posted - 12/18/2011 :  8:34:01 PM     Roland Well if its real cement I guess it won't need much coloring???? A very nice steam engine & boiler to say the least. Jerry Jerry "And in the end, it’s not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years." A.

Country: USA | Posts: 353 railman28 Fireman Posted - 12/19/2011 :  5:27:55 PM     Sorry I'm coming late to the party here and I hope I understand the question correctly but on Roland's excellent looking boiler the first (from the left) line that runs up to the injector from the ground is the water supply line. On locomotives this line ran to the back of the engine where it connected to a hose to the tender. The illustration provided bu Arthur is very interesting as it shows a pre-injector set-up with a water pump. The S shape line running from the the pump is the high pressure feed line and doesn't seem to be going to the right place to me. I would think that it would head up to a check valve in the more traditional location. but I guess they had a better idea. I which the illustrator could have included it. Arthur, where did you find this illustration? It's only make-believe Edited by - railman28 on 12/19/2011 5:30:27 PM Country: USA | Posts: 5678 Hopeless Fireman Posted - 12/19/2011 :  6:59:36 PM     Thanks Bob. That sounds like a solution. Do you know what the pipe on the right was used for?
