The half round even if over scale looks better than flat.
Just an idea
Sorry, I'm not too sure what the other odd bits represent.
PS The engine I’m building, apparently, was a non-superheated Belpaire boiler. Photos of superheated locos show a Wakefield lubricator on the footplate ahead of the side tank on the fireman's side. I’ve not found an equivalent view on a non-superheated loco, save for round-toppers, the latter show no lubricator. Before I head off to order a lubricator, does anyone know for certain such thing were or weren’t fitted to the NSBB* locos?
The dome is smaller (lower) than on the round top boilers so my casting was turned down....
found quite a few shots of Belpaire 2-4-2's with no signs of a mechanical lubricator on either side.
