Thanks a lot, Renee!
Added small pipes for the valves on the boiler.
Firstly, added the small valve handles.
The air valves at the right hand side. I think it is controlling sandbox (forward and backward selectively).
Added the relatively thinner pipes for the valves.
I guess the compressed air comes from tank. And the sandbox valves are opened selectively (break aid, forward or backward)
My theory 
Seen through the opening at the back
The valve at the top
Painted and weathered
And,
One more small component.
Took longer than I thought at the beginning.
Starting from paper pieces
Assembled together
Sanded the small thing for long time and got the shape ready for the next step
Attached some more details
Painted and weathered
And attached to the boiler
Completed the pipes for the valves at the side.
Prepared and attached pipes (20 gauge)
Painted
And Weathered
Seen through the opening at the back
As you can see, the pipe connections are based on limited reference photos and my imagination.
I think Draccus will show the proper connections.
Another week starts.
Hi Helmut,
Thanks a lot!
A little progress made.
two more pipe straight down to the floor, and two valves/splitter.
First valve
And attached the 2nd one.
A picture with wide angle.
Coming to the work that I have low confidence. I’m looking at Precyzyjny’s work as close as possible to complete it.
As the first step, attached two obvious pipes; the top one and the one go straight down to the floor.
And painted
It feels like to be long process.
Thanks, Draccus
Making some more progress
Assembled
Painted
weathered
And attached to boiler
Seen through the opening at the end
Added more stuffs
The control which I guess controls the direction (forward / backward) and the speed. I’m not locomotive expert.
So, please correct me if I’m wrong.
Starting from threaded shaft, winding thin wire on 20 gauge solid wire.
Assembly completed
Painted
And weathered
Mounted on the boiler.
I think it’s something that pushes and pulls the control rod that determines the direction and speed.
Seen through the opening at the back.
Kudos, Matthias!
Hi Henryk,
Thanks a lot !
Added some detail on the box, the guide for shafts, shafts and valve handles.
Painted and weathered
Fit check.
And attached to the boiler end.
It was very busy week.
A lot of issues and meetings to resolve problems at multiple locations.
Now, I think things got back to the main track again and move forward.🤞
Finally, after the last Friday evening meeting, resumed paper locomotive.
As the last step of locomotive exterior, added the posts next to the headlights.
And, finally,
Begin the driver’s booth interior work.
Made the first part of it.
I’m trying to gather as many pictures and other build reports for the build as possible. If any of you know the links to any site that has quality pictures of Ty2 driver’s booth internal, please kindly share.
Thanks Hanns
Right hand side.
The pipe that connects compressor and boiler was too simple comparing to Rainer’s. 
So, I added some detail. May not be as authentic as Rainer’s, it’s best I can get at this stage.
Starting from small star-shape paper.
Added connectors both sides
Embedded magnets inside.
Painted and weathered
Mounted on the position.
Beginning of the driver’s booth internal.
Although there’re not much parts attached, all are neat and look so real. I’ll follow you.
Looking forward to it!
Valve handles are attached
Starting from small paper pieces
Assembled
Painted in black
Added red accent
Attached on valves
Current status
Added the steps
Firstly, the bottom step on Driver’s booth ladder was broken. It was restored together.
Fit check.
Parts being prepared
Painted
And mounted
Applied weathering
Attached the hand rail both sides.
Also made the rail detachable using small magnets.
Prepared the soils wire (20gauge)
And made the posts
It has two parts.
Magnets hold them together
Attaching on the boiler and the wire.
Applied the black base, and painted red color on the handrail, weathered.
And attached those handrail parts.
Hi Ulrich and Peter,
Thanks a lot for the comment.
Those words will make me reach the finish line.
Right hand side sandbox pipes are done.
Wires are ready (length and shape)
No special skill required but patience and mind control.
Painted in black and weathering one by one
Completed
Right
Left hand side sandbox pipes are done.
Another long tedious process ..
The length, position and shapes/curvature set per piece.
Take pipes out and paint
After final adjustment
Weathering one by one
Left side completed

Hi Joon...
Das dritte Foto (A68F3FC0-07A8-4638-9B1E-0F4BA215F0CB)
sprengt gerade mein Vorstellungsvermögen.
So etwas Geniales aus Karton und Papier herzustellen ist unübertroffen.
Mit größtem Respekt vor Deiner Leistung, Renee
Hi Renee,
Wow, was für ein Kompliment.
vielen dank für deine aufmunterung.
langer Weg zu gehen.
Ich hoffe, Sie genießen den Rest des Fortschritts.
(Google Translate)
Moving forward.
Beginning of sandbox piping.
Decided to use 18gauge wire.
Before, check the magnets already installed and those polarities.
At the end of tip(?), there’re small magnets already installed for attaching the rest of pipes.
Prepared the wire, cut it to the length and set the shape. And attached the small magnets at the end.
Fit check.
the first one is done.
13 more to go for this locomotive.
Wish me luck
Thanks a lot, Dieter!
Weathering completed.
Before weathering, disassemble.
Weathered the pipes on the frame first.
Weathering completed with the usual method.
Not that noticeable from a distance.
Anyways, the base weathering is done.
Moving to the sandbox pipes.
small valves attached
Two valves
Attached on the main pipe
Current status
Pipe weathering will be the next step
Hi Helmut and HenryK,
Glad to know you enjoy the build process.
Thanks a lot!
A pipe and valve that connects driver’s booth and boiler top.

Completed
Pipings are halfway done.
Will apply wreathing on the pipes installed so far before working on sandbox pipes.

Thanks, Henryk
I’m also glad that I can work on making something in the evening instead of attending endless conference calls.
Moving on to the left hand side piping.
Still don’t know what those are for.
Before the pipe work, accident happened.
I accidentally dropped the boiler and found the bracket for left side spoiler broken.
Reassembled and reinforced with thick CA glue. Hope it holds well.
Starting from pipe brackets
Installed the 24 gauge thick pipe/wire
And continue on two thin wires (30 gauge)
And painted in black
Current status
Thanks Draccus, Rainer and Tom !
Hi All,

Great. Great. And Great.
Are you planning to publish the model in sometime in future? Then I’ll be the one who try as soon as it is released.
Hey bro.
Where have you been? Is everything all right? I worried a bit since our last texts.
Good to know you are hanging around.
Thanks! I’m doing well.
Many issues to handle at the beginning of the year. I hope to pick up paper sheets soon for my train. Wish me luck.
BTW, GREAT PROGRESS !!
Making me considering air plain after the train.
I’m speechless.
Great work, Seo !
Kudos !
Busy start of the year.
Now, I resume locomotive building.
Added a shaft and pipes for sand pipes.
Sand pipe valve control.
Will use small (yet strong) magnets to make sand pipes detachable.
Hi Peter,
Congratulations!
Very nicely and neatly done!
Very neatly and nicely done !!
Kudos to you, Stefino!
Hi Roland,
Congratulations !!
Very nicely done.
Kudos !!
Hi Roland,
Very neat and super fast progress.
Great !
Installed the left lower pipes.
starting with cutting and shaping, checking the fit frequently. It is took way longer than I was thinking.
Used 18awg wire. (Of course, with the silicon wire cover)
final fit check.
Paint the pipes.
Installed the pipes.
Before weathering.
Applied weathering
it seems the photo upload takes much longer than usual. Maybe too much data traffic between continents during year end season.
Many many FaceTime calls ?
Have great time with your family!
Preparing the side pipe installation.
starting with the box at the front side
Make ID 1.9mm paper pipes.
Pipe brackets
Attaching on the boiler (left hand side)
weathering done on those new parts
Pipe installation tomorrow.
Thanks, Renee !
Applied weathering.
It feels a bit light. Will apply more weathering again later if needed.

mounted on the frame.
color now looks matching with boiler.
