Another Pollitt engine... Part VI

Hot on the heels of #871 comes #858. She started out variously as a Triang JInty, 3F and 2P, has now been rebuilt twice and I am very, very happy with the result. This time in the works I have replaced the splasher beading, replaced the valve chest cover and rebuilt the tender top.

I can see where the Triang 2P might be in that but the Jinty? It doesn't even seem to be one of those "accountants' rebuilds" where the whistle is recycled...

The Jinty gave up its boiler, smokebox and firebox.  Where the tanks were was where the splashers are now, so I just had to extend the firebox sides down and the boiler underside back a little.

Excellent. The splasher beading really does make a huge difference on these designs.
