Thanks for the nice comments, guys. I acquired the loco in 2012 and started work on it then. Work was interrupted when I had dual open heart surgeries in 2015. Then the project sat on the shelf for several years. The pandemic came and I was determined to catch up on projects so I finally finished it this month. The wooden part on the lathe is a cylinder that sits on top of the steam chest on each side. One of them was missing so I used a dowel and turned it on the lathe. Here's a video of the L&T running on 80" diameter original Boucher Standard gauge track:
