I also started to work on the smaller details of the tender.
A #2 scoop and clinker hoe were scratched up from some brass. I soldered up an extra handle that will be placed into the coal pile after the engine is painted and weathered.
I also soldered up an oil can from some brass tube and wire.
On the fireman's side of the tender I added a few hooks and hung a chain ( with hooks on the end ) off of it. It was all soldered together so I don't have to worry about it falling off.
The engineers side received a set of hooks and a rerailing frog.
I was a little behind on my post with this project but with these pics I am all caught up.
