The soot-door should be painted black.
The model should now present the appearance of [Fig. 8].

We have next to make a ‘DOME-BOX’ and a FUNNEL-BOX. As both of these are alike except in size, we will give details of the first, and dimensions only of the second. On a piece of ‘medium’ card construct a square with sides one and a half inch long, construct a second within it with sides one inch long, cut out the corners shaded, leave the sides A B and C D straight, but curve, as shown, the lines marked E F and G H, so that they fit the boiler; the annexed ([Fig. 9], No. 1) is full size and exactly the shape. All round the inner square, where the dotted lines are shown, a V-shaped groove must be cut, as when making ‘side-boxes’: fold in, gum well in at the angles, and place pins round to keep it in position until dry, as at [Fig. 9], No. 2.
The dimensions of the ‘funnel-box’ are: outer square, one and a quarter inches sides; inner square, three-quarters of an inch sides. The ‘dome-box’ is to be painted chrome-green and edged with black; the ‘funnel-box’ is to be painted black. When they are quite dry they must be gummed in position; the ‘dome-box’ is to be placed on the boiler, almost in the centre, but slightly nearer the front than the back; the ‘funnel-box’ exactly in the centre of the front over ‘raise-up.’
Wood shaped for Dome. Cut off at line A B.
