I think we have made a land mark with this.

The Frames as far as I can tell are finished except for painting, and reassembly. the jobs done today were adding the white metal castings, this was fairly straight forward apart from the main springs. These were a squeeze between not fowling the compensation or the wheels. You will also see in the pictures the centralising springs for the ponies, these also apply a little downward pressure. I just need to do a bit more cleaning and smoothing of ant spots of solder etc.

Here are the parts apart from the valve gear that co to make up the bottom half of this loco.

The next two pictures are of the finished ponies, one of which was changed after I was given some information from Bill Bedford. I changed one to a swing link pony, I just hope my representation will not look to bad under the depth of the frames. You will also see the bit of tube soldered on top to mate with the centralising spring.
