MWaz Get off your duff challenge

[twilight]

I had to do a little bit more modification to the tender pickup mounts for them to clear the posts of the original tender pickups(see at end of yellow stick).


On a bench grinder, I had to to grind off some material I was using to make the mount that everything gets solder to.



I cut the material to size and glued in place. Soldered all the pieces in and shaped the pickups to touch the back of the tender wheels. Checked for shorts and found none.


Final assembly looks like this,


I'm happy with the way this turned out and hope it works as good. Took awhile to get everything ironed out, though. Going to move on to the other tender truck today and hopefully give it a little test run, soon. Whew!
