Tender Construction
This is a similar fiddly process as with the firebox, using the same tools, but this time you will need an additional length of 1 inch diameter steel round bar to form the shape of the back of your tender, along with a stout hammer and a block of wood.
Materials needed:
2 pieces of 0.1 inches (2.5mm) steel (or brass), 8 and 1/2 x 8 and 1/8th inches (216 x 206mm) (for the 2 sides).
1 piece of 0.1 inches (2.5mm) steel (or brass), 6 x 15 inches (152 x 450mm) for the floor/rear plate.
2 x 15 inch lengths (450mm) of 1/4 inch (6mm) square steel or brass rod (the corner bracing).
68 – 4ba bolts with nuts, 3/4 inch long.
It looks complicated, but is very easy to do.
The tender is the rear part of your traction engine
