Looking good John
After spending most of the day trying to attach the upper coal rails firmly I had find a way new way to fit them. ..........

That type of tender cab was taken from scrapped F3 cabs I can give you a dimension for that.Thanks John!!
Need to finalise the ride height on the loco and tender next, as I think the tender cab may be a little tall. The window cutout to side and roof is correct, but the height was an educated guess, so no problem in lowering it to suit the height of the loco cab roof by chopping a millimetre or two off the bottom.
It's not fixed on yet so I can adjust if necessary.
JB.
One thing I can't tell is if the toolbox was still used on the tender cab variants.
JB.
I'm half tempted to do the roof completely battered and bruised to match!
I am curious though, if it wasn't operational possibly because the boiler was out of ticket, why was there a fire in it? Was it just for effect as there doesn't appear to be any pressure on it..
