[font="arial,helvetica,sans-serif"]Hi Rob[/font]

[font="arial,helvetica,sans-serif"]What I want to do is to give my 2-6-0 a bigger tender, so a larger body that would fit on to the chassis would be ideal. The chassis size is 240mm x 95mm maximum, so I guess an ideal body would be about 220 x 90. Any heifght above 60mm would be good too.[/font]

[font="arial,helvetica,sans-serif"]I hope this helps - and thanks for getting in touch[/font]

You might try gluing on an inch of styrene, or scrap tender around the bottom. works for me. Here is an Annie tender "biggerised"

Connie tenders are a bit on the wide side, what 260 loco is it ?

Rob that looks fantastic !

I've had a look and mated my Conso tender to the Mogul (having been prompted to do so by Jonathan - thaks Jonathan !) - yes it's wider, but matches very well - and as there are examples of wider/narrower tenders being used prototypically, that'll do for me !

So now I need to get an Annie when the new one appears later this year, and have a go at conversion as you have done. You must have increased the size of the cab too - and I love your rivet work !

Please elucidate (if that's the right worm)

Thanks Don, actually the rivets are already on the tender bottom. I wish Bachamnn would have redone the tender rivets when they produced the Annie version. They are way too big. The cab is scratched, this engine now represents a T-19

Excellent, Rob, thanks !

Now to delve in to Smegworld....yeeuuuwwwwwwww !

Hope you don't mind, but all that's saved Rod (why did I call you Rob ?), because my tiny brain can't cope with too much at a time !

Love the conversion though, has my blood up and running !
