Roundhouse 0-6-0 vs DCC/Sound

....How was the rivet pattern on the sloped part of the tender. I can't find clear photos of this detail. I've got a Bachmann and a MDC shell, but bot only have rivets on the side... Is it right?

I have drawings showing rivet lines running lengthwise on the sloped deck: a row near each side, just inboard of where the side sheets are rolled over, and two additional rows, dividing the width of the deck into three roughly equal sections.
Another drawing shows two lines of double (staggered) rivets running crosswise on the sloped deck, and again dividing the deck into three roughly equal sections.
A third drawing shows rivets only along the side edges of the sloped deck, just inboard of the rolled edge.

Unless you have photos of your prototype's sloped deck, it looks like you have multiple choices.

Thanks Wayne,

You confirm what I saw on Pat Durand's U.S. 208 mogul (2 rivets lines running lenghtwise). His model depict the third option. They were aligned with the coal bunker side which make sense. I'll take this approach since I've got no picture of the deck.

I checked other pictures from O-12-f and O-12-a (similar tender) and finally realized the water hatch was located between the toolbox and the coal bunker extension. The hatch was quite high (about 18 inches) as shown on my CAD drawing.
