While I pondered I moved along by fitting hand rail knobs to the tender sides and fitting lifting rings to the coal space sides and tank top\/coal chute. I still haven&#8217;t assembled the innards because I want all the sub assemblies ready and to have an understand of how things fit before committing myself.<\/p>\n<p>Before getting started on anything last night I re-read the instructions and saw the wood for the trees and ended up with this.
