I've made myself a few sanding sticks, ice cream sticks.
Different shapes and water paper grits, noted on the stick as well.

A few more photos in the station just for fun.
I think that the tender is a bit high overall.
What do you think?

Hi all,

I hope that everybody is enjoying the long weekend and spending time with their trains.
I've done a bit more on this project. 
Lots of research and looking for photos on the net.
When I ordered this kit I also got the kit for the tender extension, but unfortunately didn't download the build instructions
at the same time.
The company Adler Modellbau has closed down end of last year and the instructions are gone. 
So I've started to build it, but I'm not sure about a few points.
A few photos that I could find show the loco with a tender matching the Weinert tender kit that I've got, so I've continued
with that for now.
Not complete yet, a few photos to give a impression. Also allows me to get a feel for it. So I placed her on the layout today.
The front of the loco also got a few detail parts added.

Hi all,

time for a update.
This is becoming a very involved project to build.
The tender body kit is for a Roco BR 01 and I'm trying to make it fit to a Fleischmann BR 03. 
I noticed that the sides are a bit higher at the bottom, exposing the frame.
Okay so I carefully lowered the body on the frame a bit, but then I realized that the buffer beam is to low. 
So now I had to shim this up again and have now lined up the buffers. 
Will have to add a little strip on the underside of the body to compensate.
First photo shows me holding the front of the loco to the rear of the tender to check for alignment.
Second photo different angle.

Hi all,

my parcel with some Weinert parts to complete this loco has finally arrived. 
The ESU speaker in the top right is not for this project.
The Loksound decoder is.
Will update as the work progresses.
