Loco Kit (7) - all the main bits assembled...

The fiddling, fettling & fitting continues.....

Smokebox front... 

Some plasticard bits stuck on to the back keep it centred when in place..

trial fit to the boiler front....


Cab detail
The backplate, with controls and dials assembled
positioned in the cab to check for fit...

Boiler...

The handrail holders, marked out.... 
Handrails fitted along with funnel, dome; all done...

Trial fit assembly....
With all the main component parts done, nice to do a dry fit assembly....


A load of small jobs todo: couplings, fixing points for assemblies, etc. Then the trickier job - how to fit in the radio control electronics and power feeds. Enough to keep me out of mischief 😀
