Sweet Pea Steam Locomotive Build Part 8 Making New End Cap Covers for Cylinders a Left Hand Pair & a Right Hand Pair. Made from scrap bronze off cuts and sliver soldered together
Similarly made as per when i made the same components for my Metre Maid build, a six wheeled version of this one. (see link below)

I bought this part loco with no boiler History and part dismantled with many bits missing, the bits missing are no problem to re make, its the boiler that will decide if its a re-furb or a scrap weigh in. So my Scratch built Metre Maid version of this that i built 3 years ago, will have to wait to see if it has a mate!!!
This Sweet Pea looks like a very early one made from the book by Jack Buckler, the deisigner of the Loco back in the 1970's
Fingers crossed this Official Pressure Test with our clubs boiler inspector, will decide, Watch this space!!!! see part 3 for this
Since buying i got the certificate see previous parts for that journey
thanks for joining me on the building of a steam locomotive journey
