I think GW loco men must of been underpaid so underfeed going by the width or the cab entry.

Some time was spent looking at photos to see what went wrong. There is no drawing with the instructions. Over size bunker side sheets. I have a couple of bang on side shots. Using a pair of dividers I worked out it was 2/3 bunker and 1/3 opening. I will need to sort out the handrail so it takes up less space, and work out how to hide the old handrail holes and get rivet detail in them. As a matter of interest I tried the cast cab floor in place. Surprise surprise, it would only fit with the bunker side sheets reduced in length.

The plus side I did get some of the tank top details soldered on. It seems to be bringing it to life now. I want to add a spacer to the smoke box so It can be screwed in place. I will do the same with the bunker too.

Did not get much time at the bench today, which is disappointing after not doing anything model wise over the weekend. I had to degrout the car, we had take the bikes to a local park for a ride and managed to get so much sand in the car it looked like we had been to the beach. Tomorrow should be better.
