Having redrawn the engine to what I think is a more accurate outline, I've set about making the chassis.
I'm using 10 thou nickel silver for the rods laminated with three layers and 15 thou for the chassis mainframes.
All were marked out with the vernier and cut with a scrawker into rough shapers before tidying up with files.
The chassis frames were sweated together before I fretted out the outline and drilled holes for the brake gear hangers and compensation beam.
The rods are hinged on the middle crank pin.
Next step is to assemble the chassis using the jig and some old EM frame spacers I've got left over from previous kits.
The chassis mainframes are only 11mm deep to give you a sense of scale!
