A return to the Collett goods has seen the wheels on and quartered, the motor and gearbox fitted and the brake gear added. Test leads have been fitted to the motor and I'm pleased to say the wheels go round.
Just the matter of pick ups to add now.
The body had been trial fitted and all seems to be fine and the CSB's work well.
Whilst the epoxy was going off for the copper clad for the pick ups I turned my attention to the tender, again building with CSB's. High Level have designed this to be sprung so it's just a matter of following the instructions. It's a bit fiddly as everything's that bit smaller being 2mm axles but I got there in the end.
Whilst I was taking the pictures I set up a rake of engineers wagons I've acquired in EM so these will need converting and repainting at some point since they are far too rusty/red at the moment

Nice work as usual Andrew.

 

I built one of those tender chassis, but left off the brake gear - lot of work for little gain, I surmised.
