The final stages of the rebuild..
After a short run test, a small traction weight has been added ....
The loco is in three parts - the RC chassis, the 'footplate' and the body (cab+boiler); I've made the effort this time to have it so that I can can take the loco apart for maintenance.
The 'footplate' assembly with the motion removed showing the screw holding the body (cab end) in place
the smoke box end of the body is held in place with a screw either side.
All parts together now with the RC aerial which comes up through the front of the saddle tank.
I'm going to let all the glue cure for a couple of days before I start any painting.
