Peter, you may want to have a look through the thread Martin started that covers this loco as it has some corrections to the published text/drawings.

I would think it is safe to say that the note on Fig8 " Boiler materials 16swg copper" refers to the main tube and end plates which hopefully Martin will confirm.
