advice on styrene wraps to add rivet detail

[doctorwayne]

Thanks Wayne. That first image you posted of the CN mike is kind of what I am after. Any chance of a few more shots of that tender?

Here's a couple, although they don't show much more. Looks to me like the back and front of the bunker were extended, then the ends of the coal boards cemented to them. The handrail was made from brass strip bent around a piece of wire, then the "stanchions" were inserted into holes drilled in the top edge of the original tender sides. I also used ca to affix them to the coal boards - the one on the right rear appears to have been bent away from the board. :oops:
After the loco was painted, I added some "coal" to the cast-in-place pile - this also helps to strengthen the coal board/handrail assembly.
