Just over a week to go and I should be beavering away on Wherewithial for next Saturdays 009 open day organised by the SWOONS group, however I am easily distracted....

While waitng for some glue to dry I thought I'd just do a few small jobs on another recent aquisition from a 2nd hand stand, it's an Impetus 4mm scale Manning Wardle class I which someone had started. in fact they'd got as far as errecting the frames, to S4/P4 standards as it turned out.

All my 4mm scale standard gauge stock is to EM gauge and this was to be no exception, so in with the big iron and all came apart in a flash. No actual flash you understand as that would suggest a fault on my soldering iron.

Clean up, EM frame spacers from the etch, bearings in and all went together very nice & square to give the result shown below. I'm not going to touch it now for a least a week....honest!

By the way that's not a gold ring the chassis is propped up on but a ferrule out of compression fitting.

John.
