The body of the tender is built around a fold up cage, I confess that I wasn’t too keen on it initially but it’s growing on me.

All the parts are just rested in place at the moment – The front and rear panels are made up of two half etched faces with a capping strip added after soldering them together. So far I have only fitted the front one together because the front of the rear panel is folded to create the coal space and I haven’t got that far yet.

It was a bit fiddly but I did manage to get the filler cap to open and close.
