I recently purchased a part made Britannia in three and a half inch gauge, although I have all the M.E. build articles, it does not mention size (of rivets) or spacing around the smokebox, I would be pleased to hear any information on this, thanks in advance

Hi David

Martin Evans gives 1/16 or 3/64 copper or brass snap head rivets for LBSC's unfinished Evening Star in the same gauge, but doesn't mention spacing I'm afraid.

If you google Brittania images, a number of photos are available. With care, and nothing better comes along, a reasonable estimate of spacing might be made from a few of these. Rivets at the rear of the smokebox are in a staggered double row.
