I also like to give the wheels a light rub with steel wool on the flat part where the belt goes. Gives a nice worn shine to it. I've always wanted to mask off the edges of the wheels and only shine the center where the belt goes but have never been able to get the mask straight enough.
Respectfully,

John and James thanks for the kind words. James you are more than welcome to add your build to this thread. The more the merrier.

Well after a couple weeks of little modeling time, I finally found some bench time today and was able to install (most of) the remaining parts. All that remains is to add the governor belt. The fly wheel and belt wheel still haven't been glued to the crank shaft. Brett recommends leaving the steam in and exhaust out pipes until one is ready to connect them to the boiler.
As always questions, comments and suggestions welcome
