I was going to add that not long after the last post I discovered that the whitemetal castings were missing from the tender so in spare moments I have been looking through the spares boxes and examining working drawings that I have created to see what I ultimately need to buy. I have already turned some spare rear tank vents and drawn up the water scoop dome, tank filler and brake vacuum cylinder and a number of the various rods etc. are present cast in brass. This left (so far) axleboxes and springs, water scoop and brakes hangers/blocks. Now I have spare brake blocks from the Princess and while looking for the spare etched hangers from the Princess which I didn’t use because I had been supplied with nice cast ones I found the plastic pot with the missing castings. Now admittedly some of these are a bit ropey so I will be replacing some of them anyway but I now have the ones that I would struggle to remake.
