Still winning!
Oh god, we have fitted hand rails. I had to use all short handrail knobs from Alan Gibson otherwise we would of ended up with handrails going through the front cab windows.
Of course some cleaning up to do. Also fitted the front casting, while i was at it thought it might be a good time to attach buffers which has now highlighted yet another problem......
....as you can see they don't fit flush. i was thinking from the start that the buffer beams look extremely thin, thinking they look more like overlays, perhaps it needs something more substantial behind them, this would push the buffer beam level with the front of the footplate and guess what, the buffers would sit flush.
One big problem i am having with all this soldering and desoldering, the whole thing has begun to warp and no longer sits flat.
I also attached the sand boxes to the underside of the foot plate and now the chassis no longer fits between them.
