its a little off, but its not bad.
I tested it today but the cylinder bracket leaks way too much steam between it and the actual cylinder for it to work  I'm now at a slight loss as to what to do.
heres a pic of Bessy with the same paint

here is a picture showing the newly rearranged pipes. They were the wrong way round before, so the engine would only reverse. No good for an engine that has to run forwards in mobile mode!

tow rope, just a cheap little detail
I can tell you now I've set light to it a few times when she was solid fuel fired!
