Paint the part marked A chrome-green; panel with black lines like sides of tender. Paint the parts marked B and C black. When quite dry, place in position; the part marked A is to be at the back end of the ‘tender-sides’ connecting them, the part marked B half-way along the top, in both cases extending to the outer edge of the wooden ‘tender-sides.’ The part marked C, which is narrower, comes between the ‘tender-sides,’ and should terminate just about the front end of them.

Screen.—This shape, but about twice the size.
The ‘screen’ to be placed at this end now requires making. It should be just wide enough below to fit in between the ‘tender-sides;’ the upper part should be wide enough to reach the outside edges of the ‘tender-sides.’ The height should be a quarter of an inch less than the ‘screen’ already constructed ([Fig. 11]), with top-corners rounded, and with two holes near the top similar to those in the ‘screen.’ Near the bottom a hole, one inch wide and three-quarters of an inch high, should be cut—this is for the stoker to get coals out. The diagram ([Fig. 14]) gives the shape. Paint chrome-green, and edge with black.
If you desire to make a screen with a top to it, as in the engines more recently constructed, obtain a piece of thick card long enough for both screens (which now must be of equal height) and the top; arrange it something like the annexed figure, placing all the details of both screens as before described, and finally making V-shaped grooves at A and B, where the bends are to be made. Gum up into shape and afterwards gum in position as before described. Very often this kind of engine has no ‘tender,’ and is called a ‘tank’ engine.
