	: Vance Nickerson shared a few pictures of the Big Santa Fe Texas project. He’s been carefully bringing this live steam treasure back to life all ~~Summer Long~~. Note the first air pressure test below and the beautiful back-head plumbing completed. High temp HD Stainless steel throttle ball valve is installed in the smoke box and plumbed. And a side view of the left side injector and plumbing. Those injectors are huge! Vance claims that they should flood the boiler in about 5 seconds! :-)		: Vance Nickerson shared a few pictures of the Big Santa Fe Texas project.
