Spuds are generally attached from above via a central screw. This wasn't easy when I built the thing and was less so now involving using all my gynaecological skills, poking the flat screw down through a hole in the top of the 'tanks' with a bit of blu-tack and a small screwdriver.
Before I get moaned at, the above shows the whole loco. For students of this sort of thing it comprises of: the £2.99 coach, a till roll, some wire, Gibson brake handle and filler caps, a cocktail stick and a washer and a chimney from the clicky bit of a ball-point pen which is a force fit and actually holds the whole thing together.
Class stuff.
For a bit of inspiration, though electric, try this.
