help with jhonsons 1P 0-4-4t

about 3-4 years ago i had my 1st tender steps with scratch building i bought a drawing from the net and had a go i did not really have the tools needed and a lot of work was done with a dremel mini drill and made most bits my self dome chimney etc. baying only what i had too wheels buffer motor and gear box they did work up to a point but on one. though i was put of ever finishing them when i brought a Alain Gibson chassis and when put next to the drawing they did not mach up.

so today i have had them back out to have a go at putting them right and hopefully running i have taken some measurements and would like to ask if ether one is correct for the 0-4-4t tank also i will add some photos and would like to hear any criticism to find out if i am better of starting from scratch
