It's been a while due to reducing this sprawl
to something that was presentable. There was a concession to keep one desk for now (by the window) and so I have this week finally manage to squeeze a few useful hours furthering the odd project not currently mothballed.
The horse boxes had a number of parts made or cut from the frets with the potential for loss when packed and I wanted to get them fitted. I had originally planned to finish these for next weekend and am now on a promise to myself to get them ready for mid-November.
I've managed to get the buffer beams laminated and fitted along with the buffers, whitemetal castings, steps (why must NPCS have so many steps?), and brake rods. The chassis are now very nearly ready for paint with only couplings and vacuum pipes now required to complete.
You may notice a small improvement in the close up photography? I treated myself to a 4x macro 'filter'. The man in the shop suggested this was the most cost effective way of photographing small items whilst retaining a decent depth of field that is not evident in the next picture.
Much work remains to finish the detail on the body; not limited to the emergency cord detail and the handrails on the end with steps.
Finally a reminder of how far I've already come...
