K1 Garratt Project (1) - Basic Mock-up

The two donor locos have been taken apart; I hacked one of the body/cabs up into usable bits - to get a smokebox and funnel and cab.  I tried out a basic assembly with a bit of cardboard for the foot plate and some different diameters of tubing to get a feel for the way things would look....

useful exercise; I need to work out the way the foot plate will pivot on the two 0-4-0 motions.

All bits have been kept in a box, one of the weights will fit in the boiler tube and I found two more square weights in my spare bits which can go in the water tanks at either end.
