    Toto,
    Can I politely suggest that you get plenty of experience with Jim's loco kit's under your belt before tackling this one? Ace Kit's have a reputation for being challenging to say the least. It's not helped by them being drawn in from lot's of other ranges some with reasonable reputations some not.

    I thought it might, but it was worth mentioning.

    The beauty of Jim's kit's is that they fit where they are meant to. Although I am sure that there was something on the Tender Truck that didn't fit and Jim makes reference in the instructions on what you need to do to fix it.

    That's torn it Toto - you have to read those bits of paper with sqiggles on - they weren't neatly folder packaging after all :avatar:

    3 weeks and I can dare to look at my Brake vans, 1 Slaters ex LMS 20T and 1 of Jims BR 20T Brake Van - Instructions and all
