[modeleng] Re: LMS 3,500 gallon tender

Don't rely on 2968's tender! The entire upperworks were built at Bridgnorth, 
it is all welded and the dimensions were subtly changed to increase the 
water capacity. It does have rivets - copied from the original.
Nock's book has the works photos taken at NB's works and shows 6152 
pretending to be 6100 in works grey with a flush tender but the picture of 
it prepped for going to USA shows it with a riveted tender! I think the 
model builder can really please himself  and still be authentic!
