GWR HALL (3)
It has not been a bad couple of days. Not as long at the bench as I would of liked.
Things are progressing quite nicely. I have the loco frames back together. I will remake the rods and then I will get it running, hopefully it will run well as the chassis is nice and square. I have had to make new cylinder covers. The look 100% better than the original ones.
The running plate is now folded up the right way out. The front stepdown has been remade you will see why in the following photos. I will have to do the same with the rear step down too. The rear one will not be so bad as there is a lack of rivet detail. The front is now almost complete I jst need to make the ovelays for the front framing. I soldered up all the splasher and framing folds which has helped to stiffen things up.
The boiler and smoke box where rolled a little while ago but the photos are here now. Both surprised me by forming very nicely I though I may need to remake both.
The cab is ready for reassembly. Again nothing needed remaking. I will be try to make the boiler firebox and smokebox removable, I will also look at the cab and see if that can easily be done aswell.
