no overlaps, and solder from the inside taking care not to get excess solder through the joint onto the external rivet
detail. Repeat for the other corner. At the front make up the angled bulkheads. Fold at the first etched line to form a 90°
corner, then fold the "flap" down to form the angled section of the bulkhead, and solder the resulting joint. Now fold at
the second etched line to form the bulkhead. Make sure these front corners fold sharply, they tend to "round off' due to
the adjacent half etch relief where the toolbox doors fit. Next fold the front of the floor down as shown.
Add the side gusset strips (8xpair) underneath the tender. When removing the holding tabs from these, be careful not to
remove the straps which support the pipe work at the front - there are two straps on the R/H side and three on the L/H
side. Fix the gusset strips in position, locating the tabs through the tender floor and folding them over. Check that the
gusset is square with the tender floor and solder the folded tabs in place.
Take the tender sub-floor (6) and fold the sides down as shown. Place the sub-floor in position, locating the tabs either
side into the tender floor, and solder in place. Fix the tender footplate (16) to the top of the sub-floor. Fold up the edge
of the tender step treads (5x4) and fix to the folded down section of the sub-floor. Fold up the edges of the two bulkhead
step treads (2x2) and fix in place. Fix the handbrake bracket (3) to the R/H bulkhead. Using a 21mm length of O.5mm
wire and the handbrake wheel (17), make up the handbrake assembly, passing the wire through the handbrake bracket
and the tender floor. Using 0.4mm wire, make up the two front handrails and fix in place. Locate the bogie bolsters
(24x2) in the holes in the tender floor and fix in place, then fix in place the brake cylinder (22) followed by the air tank
(25).
At the rear, fold up the tender buffer beam (26) as shown. Fix the four lamp brackets (30x5) in place before folding the
coupler base over. Locate the folded tabs of the completed assembly into the tender floor and solder in place. Solder
inside the corners where the side gussets meet the buffer beam. If necessary, use a small file to clean up the outside
edge of these corners. Remove the two rear buffer bases (27x2) from the etch, fold and fix in place. Working from
inside the tender, solder in place the rear grab handle (0.4mm wire) and the rear marker lamps (32x2), followed by the
top lamp bracket (30x5).
Fold the drawbar pin bracket (7) as shown and solder it to the underside of the tender floor. Screw the threaded drawbar
pin (9) in place.

Remove the tender front bulkhead (4) from the fret, cut out the detailing pieces from the coal door opening, and clean
up any remaining tabs. Fix the mechanical stoker detail (11) into the hole in the tender front plate (from behind) and fix
the tender front plate into the tender body. Take the coal doors (10) and using 0.4mm wire make up and fit the two
grab handles before folding the doors inwards as shown to the same angle as the cut-out in the tender top. Fold back
the four side tabs on the doors and fit them through the slots in the tender front plate and fix in place.
Take the tender top (13) and check that it fits into the tender body - remove for later fitting. Take the turret back/sides
(14) and fold the etch as shown to form the back and sides, locate bottom tabs into the slots in the tender top and fix in
place. Add a length of 0.5mm wire to the L/H side of the tender top to protrude 3.5mm above tender top. Fix in place
the turret partition (15), followed by water filler (21), small toolbox (33) and large toolbox (34). Fix in place the
toolbox doors (20xpair).
Remove any flash from the tender top supports (12x2) and test fit them inside the tender body, ensuring that the cut
outs along the bottom edge of the supports clear the tender gusset tabs previously soldered in place.
Check carefully that the supports rest fully on the tender floor, and are an equal (and even) distance down from the top
of the tender sides. With the supports correctly located inside the tender, align one edge of the tender top against the
top of the tender side and use a pencil to mark where the underside of the tender top will meet the top of the support -
repeat for the other side. Now remove the supports and solder them to the underside of the tender top, flush with the
outside edge - make sure they are aligned with your pencil marks. Test fit the assembly into the tender before applying
glue to the supports and fixing the completed assembly in place. Note: Superglue will probably not allow you enough
time to align things, therefore contact cement is recommended. Hold the tender sides in while the contact cement sets.
Fold the steps (18xpair) and fix to the front of the tender before folding and adding the step treads (19x2). Remove the
tender ladder (31) from the etch and fold to shape as shown. Locate the end of the ladder into the top of the tender, then
locate the four "legs" into the tender rear, before soldering the bottom ladder tabs into the buffer beam. Now add brake
hose (29) to the buffer beam, followed by the buffers (28x2). Using 0.7mm wire, make up the two water pipes as
shown and add to either of the gusset strips.
Add the fire iron bracket (36) to the L/H front of the turret followed by the fire irons (35x2). Now add the medium hand rail
knobs (37x14) to the top of the turret ensuring that the cross holes are correctly aligned (this is best done by threading the
knobs onto a piece of 0.4mm wire before fixing in place). Next add medium hand rail knobs (23x2) to the front bulkhead
