The MOK 8F is progressing albeit slowly. I have been working on the replacement JLRT tender which is coming together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The welded tender rear plate needed rivets punching out and I had to make another anvil to make sure that the spacing was correct. Sadly I made a complete hash of punching them out, only getting one set out of 6 where they should sit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After much muttering I made the decision to flatten the punched rivets and file off the reamng stubs. Then I riveted a piece of thin brass along one edge with blocks of three rivets at the correct spacing. Between those I left a space so that I cold cut them to fit. I fitted the JLRT steps first, then soldered on the riveted plates above them to compete the illusion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The casting for the water gauge supplied by JLRT was whitemetal and seemed very big so I machined another one based on the one supplied with the MOK tender<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I still need to solder it in place but it looks the part.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also started to add details to the tender front, I couldn’t resist trying to make the locking latch work by filing down a brass dressmakers pin to act as the pivot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
