Product Description
This is the 4 wheeled tender for the Furness D1 & E1 Tender in FUD/FXD. 4mm / 1:76. A cheaper less crisp version is available in WSF also.
The buffers are sprued on the top of the tender, there are two filler caps to choose from and there is an optional coal barrier sprued here also. If you require it simply cut the sprues off and glue it into the groove.
This whole top section as the coal base and bulkhead slots snugly in the body. There is a 'T' shaped strengthener in the body. this may be removed if you require the extra space for weight, motor, speakers etc.
The bufferbeam headstock has not had buffer locating holes designed in due to there being several differing positions according to the differing photographs and drawings so please fix them relative to your locomotive and rolling stock.
The tender connecter has been left for you to devise due to there being differing preferances, same goes foro couplings and brake pipes. Add your own towards the end of the build.
The leaf springs may be in the way of painting and lining depending how you are going to tackle things. If they are then consider the 3 fixing points on their base as sprues. Cut these off close to the base and re-apply them later.
The brake handle and railings have been left off due to being so thin they risk a print cancellation so these can be scratch built, however in the near future a small set may be released seperately in a suitable material.
For chassis and wheels please see the instructions for them in the chassis product descriptions as a counter part to the body instructions.
