I've also cut out the front of the boiler/smoke box.
I have a beautiful cast brass one from Weinert.
The light casting is soldered in and I had to modify that first to be able to
fit an Led and then mill a channel for the wires into the underside. Second photo.

Hi all,

slowly but surely I'm making progress on this project.
Today I temporary fitted the movable plate between loco and tender. We don't want the stoker
to fall in between the two.

Hi all,

okay I've now done a mock up of the side and rear walls of my roundhouse.
I lowered the wall by 5 mm's.
Looking at the first one that I did it was just a bit to high for me.

First photo I've cut away the door.
Second photo hinge pin is in and the door can move.
Still need to figure out how to mount the tiny spring so that the door is in closed position
and only opens when its pushed open.

Hi all,
a bit of progress on this project.
The tender doors that close the gab between the tender and cab.
These are cast onto the tender at the factory.
I have a pair of brass doors that are hinged, so that they can open and close.  :thumb:
First photo shows the original tender, black arrow shows the door that now has to be removed.
Red arrow the hinge pin that needs to be replaced.
Second photo I holding the brass door in place to see for fit.

Good idea on the cardboard build to test the idea. Saw someone else do this recently and it helped him sort out some kinks. :thumb:
