Evening all

I've been making slow steady progress with the tractor which has culminated tonight in the gear box being powered up and test run. No shorts and the wheels went round!!

The body and chassis have both been primed and painted and the next step will be to fit the pickups to the chassis, then glaze the body and put the roof on. Then the final painting/light weathering, transfers...

Also have made a start on the so called match truck, which I've always thought was a milk trailer pulled by the small railcar but hey-ho. Awaiting a the wheels from Slaters before I can go any further with this one.

Photos attached as ever. The black wires are soldered to the motor terminals and will eventually be cut back to the pick up mounts, which will be copperclad glued on the inside of the chassis frame.
