Not knowing for certain\nwhether the actual plates had a rim around the beading or whether the beading\nwas in fact the edge of the plate I left two of them with a rim and asked Brian\nwhich he preferred.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"792\" height=\"292\" src=\"http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Diane-Carney-Plates.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4331\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Diane-Carney-Plates.jpg 792w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Diane-Carney-Plates-300x111.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Diane-Carney-Plates-768x283.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Diane-Carney-Plates-500x184.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 792px) 100vw, 792px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Then I soldered the boiler to the formers and fitted it to\nthe body. The bottom edge of the boiler section that fits between the tanks has\nthree tabs either side which fit into corresponding slots on a fold out on the\ninner tank sides. What a fiddle it was to get all six in the slots together.
