The steam at King's Cross. It works on both trains.
Between each of the passenger cars? That was the steam in question. The steam on the engine and coal cars has always continued to work to my knowledge.
Yep, between the cars. You can sort of see it above the cars at the far end in the picture.
Wow, they must have paid to have all of the cabins re-piped with copper, which is impressive and a bit expensive.
For some reason I though the between cars steam actually came from below the train and not the train itself. So why would the cabins need repiping?

As it was told to me, "the cars arrived from Europe with pvc piping installed in them for the delivery of steam". I don't know where the boilers are located, but I would guess that each car has its own. That said, I will scribble the question on a piece of paper, attach it to my carrier pigeon and send out my loft window this afternoon.

I assume it's like Everest, the steam and boilers are below the track. Nozzles blow the steam into inlets that then disperse the steam to the appropriate areas.
Please do not assume that... watch the video below... the steam is shooting out of all orifices as the train enters the station. There is a steam generating boiler on the main engine (I actually know this to be true). I assume the setup is exactly the same for the remaining cars.
