Tender - Rear buffer beam

Cut out the tender buffer beam this evening from a piece of sheet metal. My metal working skills are generally poor so I cut the piece out slightly oversize with the saw, then clamped it in a vice to a piece of square steel bar so that the oversize part protruded. I then filed down against the square bar to give a straight edge and the correct dimension. A bit of a bodge but it gives the right end result, albeit scuffing up a perfectly good bit of steel bar in the process!
