204 forum posts | 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 |

1050 forum posts 56 photos | 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. |
