You are nearly done with your engine!  Now you can attach detail parts to make your engine a little more realistic.  Start by gluing on the link and pin coupler pockets “AH” with epoxy.  When dry, use the #60 drill bit to make pilot holes for the nut, bolt, and washer castings “AI”.  These will be a press fit, but you may want to use a
touch of epoxy to be sure they don't fall out.

Next, attach the poling pockets “AG” with epoxy.  Finally, you can add the aquarium charcoal “AF” to the coal bunker to simulate full size steam coal. To hold it in place, dilute one part white glue with two parts water and add a few drops of dishwashing liquid.  Saturate the coal pile with this solution.  When dry the glue disappears and the coal remains in place.

Take a few minutes to go over your Project Engine and make sure you have followed all the steps presented in these pages.  If you have, you should now have an engine to be proud of.  Congratulations!
