Of course I'll keep you guys updated, in fact I finished off the tender modifications yesterday.

I added the 'rolled edge' on the bunker that was cut off when shortening. this meant that I had to remove the styrene deck and re-size it just a bit. I also made the wooden bunker extension out of some scribed basswood with some styrene strip for the corner angles.

I replaced all the cast-on grabs with wire and used some Kemtron handrail posts and wire for the grabs on the wood extensions. I'll be adding a false floor and a coal load to the bunker later.
The model is pretty much ready for paint now.
