I had to add a lip to the inside of the tender to get it to set correctly on the frame.
The factory grab was reinstalled along the cistern, steps added to the end beam, chain hooks on the side sill, a buffer, and coal boards added
For now I am going to leave the factory draw bar on the tender until I have the drive running and boiler attached. I want to see what kind of room I have to work with on the converted model before I cut it off. I will called the build portion of this tender complete, she is pretty much ready for primer and paint. I will start another thread on the loco build, as this one is for tenders only.
