I decided I ought to get on and do some of the scratch building of the missing parts. But firstly I found an error with the body. Although built on a jig the rear drop down sloped down hill, which made the cab lean backwards, like a ship with a broken back. Not good at all. I never checked with a square as it fitted well and was as I say on a jig. Once free of the jig it was very noticeable. Fortunately I only needed to remove the firebox to straighten it up. The rear splashers unfortunately came away too, but that's no problem. Hopefully tomorrow when I can get some time in the workshop I can solder it all back together now the fault is rectified.

First off we have one of the injectors I still have the exhaust one to do. Although more complicated it is hidden further under so will be seen less.

I also realised I had run the conduit for the ATC gear, but had no pickup. After looking at a few photos I knocked up this to hang in front of the pony.

Back to making the exhaust injector and the reversing lever. Hopefully by this time tomorrow I will be back on track.
