I've got a new razor saw which has worked well but no modelling has been done for over 2 weeks as I'm back working on the house at the minute. One room left, although I hope to go down the club wednesdayYou could use a file with edge teeth, ground down in thickness to suit the frame material. I have one created to make a slot on a model. Sorry for the blurred images.

Yes it is a lamp, was there as a spare on the real thing I believe but stand to be corrected. Not sure of the purpose of the cowl above it though.Looks excellent! Is that a lamp, to the left of the coal doors? And is that a dedicated cover or hinged lid over it? I don't think I've seen that before, nice detail: was it simply for practical convenience, for use by the crew?
Aha - even though I'm a bit of a newbie here, I can answer that: when you're the author of the thread, you'll see, at the top right-hand corner of each page, next to the 'Watch'/'Unwatch' button, a little arrow indicating a drop-down menu. That menu contains an item called 'Edit thread' and if you click on that, it opens a box where you can change the thread title...P.s. how do I change the name of my thread?

I really appreciate that Ozzy, thanks. Looks like they are rogue parts on my etch for the streamlined version then and hence I can't find them in the instructions. At least it's not a case of I hadn't put them on but should have!IIRC they are for the rear of a de-streamlined tender. As the tender sides extended passed the rear of the tender, also the de-streamlined tender kept the ladder rather than the normal rear steps.
To illustrate the point here are two photos showing the rear of a streamlined tender and a de-streamlined tender,

Note how the side sheet is still running passed the rear of the tender., the tender has also still got the two fillers from its streamlined days it's not showing very well in this photo but the rear edge of the tender sides had a vertical beading on them.
