      I am building a Titfield Thuderbolt in 3.5" gauge as a first attempt. I am about to start building the tender body. The top of the sides are flared. I know how to make the flare but should I anneal the brass first or not. There seems to be differing opinions on this. I am using 20g brass

      TIA

          If its one of the softer brasses than you should be OK without as its only a gentle bend. If you do start having to anneal the brass it can put a buckle in the sheet if you are not careful.
