Roger B:
Looking good :ThumbsUp: :ThumbsUp: :wine1:
I like your painting system :)
JCvdW:
Thanks Per, Kim and Roger for checking in!
The tender frame was completed today and is ready for painting!
The vertical slide was used on the lathe to drill and tap the holes in the ends of the sidle sills. This worked quite well, but in hindsight, the drilling jig used by Blondihacks is probably a better and safer idea.
The only part that had to be fabricated twice was the rear coupler pocket. The first silver solder attempt came out skew, due to too much heat on loose mounting screws.
With summer holidays around the corner, painting will have to wait for next year...

That spray booth is seriously cool - I have a cardboard box :(
I bought a rotating cake stand make things easier to turn, but need to get something rigged like yours
crueby:
Frame and trucks are looking great!!
Kim:
That looks great, JC! :ThumbsUp: :popcorn: :popcorn:
With the frame it starts to pop into 3D and you really start to get a feel of the size of the tender. Very nice work!
Kim
