I want to put some boiler stays in, as below
However the front footplate moves in comparison to the boiler (to go round Lego
corners/curves) meaning they need movement.
There three options I can think
of:
1 mount a rigid rod on a turntable at the lower end and don’t fix the
top end, just let it move in the gap between the boiler and tank (1/2 stud wide
btw)
2 mount a flexible rod (pneumatic tube) rigidly at the lower end and
wedged in the gap between boiler and tank.
3 mount the bar rigidly a the top
and and not fixed at the bottom end so it just slides over the footplate (with
the addition of some tiles)
Does anyone have any thoughts or other suggestions?
Tim
PS I just noticed that one of the steps on the front of the tanks seem to have a
black element and a grey element in the same place

| (...) Have you tried fixing the plate to the boiler and allowing a second plate with tiles on top and the wheelset on bottom to slide beneath the boiler? Chris (21 years ago, 6-Jan-04, to lugnet.trains)
