More progress has been made. The rods are fitted and the quartering adjusted. It runs!!!

I think it needs a little adjustment, it's not as smooth as it could be a very slow speeds. But still, the split chassis works as do the CSBs.

I've fitted the springs, sandboxes and buffers.

I've also fitted the brakes and primed the whole chassis. Since the picture was taken everything has been painted black.

I still need to fit something to represent the bottom of the boiler, otherwise the motor is visible. Then it's cab details, boiler/tank details, painting and lettering.Oh and attaching the boiler to the footplate. Shouldn't be too long now.
