Looks like I'll have to alter the tender height. Some kind modeller took some dimensions for me on a brass model. I compared them to Omer Lavallée's diagrams and my kitbash. As I suspected, my tender is one scale feet too high. SHoudl be too hard to resize, however, I'll have to scrap almost every rivets and replace them with Archer resin details. Looks like I'll have to wait 2 weeks to get them. However, this will give me the time to completely finish the engine and tender.
BTW, I'd like to thank everybody that helped me so far in this project. I'm not that much confident in my modelling skills, they are OK for my needs, but far to be something to be looked at. Even so, It stirred up a lot of interest from various people that gave me a hand each time I had a question. It makes we want to progress and do every little effort I can to make this kitbash the most prototypically exact I can.
