I was trying to work out if the rivets for the tubeplate are hidden under that front section of lagging, cause to my mind there looks to be a lot of distance between the smokebox and cylinder. If you imagined it had a headstock on it, it would be further back.
no the rivets for the tubeplate are just behind the smokebox, i added 8 inches to the barrel to make room for fitting a low presure cylinder at a later date.
