Hi. I've been into trains since the 1950s. So it's odd that I never questioned how the water gets from the tender to the boiler !! My guess is there's an impeller/pump under the tender with (flexible) steam pipes from cab to it. Water is then pumped thru another pipe back to the boiler..No ? Related: With a feed water heater over the smokebox, can I assume it's the same activity except for cold water traveling a longer way to it, then running back to boiler, preheated ? Thanks, M
