Besides fitting the castings I started to fit the small pieces of etch that represent the backing plates for the rear steps and those just above the foot plate on the rear of the tender.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_0002-6.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"864\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_0002-6-864x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5949\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_0002-6-864x1024.jpg 864w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_0002-6-253x300.jpg 253w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_0002-6-768x910.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_0002-6.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 864px) 100vw, 864px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">MOK 8F This is where it fits<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once I had added them I noted that there was quite a big intermittent gap along the bottom. I read and re-read the instructions and couldn&#8217;t see where I had&nbsp;gone wrong. There are not too many bits of etch left and one of them that I couldn&#8217;t find a home for is part 146. After much head scratching I worked out that&nbsp;although completely omitted from the instructions it fits as outlined in&nbsp;red&nbsp;on the image below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_0001-12.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"427\" src=\"http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_0001-12-1024x427.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5950\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_0001-12-1024x427.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_0001-12-300x125.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_0001-12-768x320.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_0001-12-500x209.jpg 500w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_0001-12.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">MOK 8F Part 146- Not mentioned in the instructions<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is on the top side of the tender footplate (thankfully at this point I had only retained it by the tabs so it was easily removed). As if omitting it from the\u00a0instructions wasn&#8217;t bad enough, there are no positive locating marks and in this photo I have it slightly too far towards the tender rear so I need to take it off\u00a0and move it back a touch or the tender body won&#8217;t sit down and close the gaps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What was I saying about soldering allowing you to take it off and adjust it&#8230;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5948","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-mok-8f"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5948","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=5948"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5948\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5951,"href":"http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5948\/revisions\/5951"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=5948"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=5948"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=5948"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
