Under the locomotive will be the chassis I have commissioned to save me the bother of cutting six identical frame sets and so on...

So, back from the etchers via Justin Hewitt who did most of the hard work, came these;

Which, after about five minutes of clipping from the fret and four bend later, becom this, an 'instant' fold-up P4 chassis;

After another ten minutes (I kid you not...) and the frame spacers are in place;

Those among you with better eyesight than mine may also like to note that the spacers have been designed to be in the correct places for CSB- based suspension and fulcrum points in the form of etched holes included in the spacer - no calculations to do and no mucking about with handrail knobs...

...and looks like this sitting under the bodywork;

More anon once I have cleaned up the bench a little and had my lunch...

Best,
Marcus
