I wondered what the holes were for in the tender top, Peter! I will have to un-fill them to drain the water. I’ll take a look at that inspection cover on the reverser box: it is just discernible on Valour and I need to increase the curvature a bit so a few strokes of a file and a chisel should do it.
I don’t know if the two types of fire iron support were contemporaneous with GC condition - the cruciform front end would hold the fire iron loops quite neatly. I have a 1937 picture of Valour with a more conventional U shaped bracket at the front rather than the +, albeit on a standard tender.
