Nice vid!

I've posted the blueprints you may need. They can be found at the "Drawings" forum, here.

Just a quick update:

The overall view is looking pretty good. Just starting to work on the steam cylinders.

Just started with the tender detail.

I have a question if someone can answer it, does the engine have some sort of a water pump any where? or does it get it's water just by injectors?

For fun, and because of a photo Disney released when the Gurley was brand new.

Haha, no worries. The pic isn't well known. It's weird they even dubbed the photo and released it.
Steve Degaetano knows alot about it though.
