So in the spirit of things I took the pretty much complete tender and the loco chassis along to Stafford so that I had something to talk to people about in between dealing with the modelling competition and the Sunday display of members models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I was surprised but not too dismayed when three separate people advised me that 8F&#8217;s didn&#8217;t have water pick up gear fitted. I say not too dismayed because I have no intention of taking it apart to remove the water scoop and associated fittings and it will solve a little niggle that I have had since deciding to model 8425. 8425 had a welded tender and Dave Sharp does provide sides\/rear plates to make up a riveted tender when originally building the tender to be for an LNER 06 I chose the riveted sides. I never felt confident that I could remove the riveted sides and fit the welded ones and as I couldn&#8217;t find the welded ones I feared that I may have cut them up and used the metal to make other parts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fast forward to about a month ago, while looking for something else, I found that by good fortune I did keep the welded side overlays. Also in the stash as mentioned on Nick&#8217;s current build thread, I have a JLRT Rebuilt Scot. So I intend to swap the tenders and use the Scot tender built without the water scoop and fittings with the MOK welded sides which are a perfect fit when dry fitted over the JLRT etches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I have made a small start this evening and I thought I might have to make a new anvil for m rivet punch but it seems I had already made one for smaller spaced rivets so that was a bonus.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Having finished the Princess I have promised my good lady that the 8F (which she bought me in 2010 would be the next loco to be finished.
