These pictures could form the basis of one of those "spot the difference" competitions in a newspaper...

Here's another thrilling angle on the S15, but with one crucial change compared to last night's installment:

The brakes are all on! It won't win any neatest soldering awards, but it should all look fine once painted; I tend to notice when brakes are missing from an engine but I don't spend too much time looking at them once they're in place; they just become part of the mass of detail below the footplate.

Fitting the set of brakes between the first and second drivers wasn't as bad as I'd feared. The dodge I used was to hang them off the middle hole in the etch - the bolt fixing on the real things - and solder them to small PCB pads fixed to the underside of the chassis. Having done that, though, and got them in position and not fouling the wheels, I reckon it would have been possible - if fiddly - to mount them the proper way, using the top hanger. Whichever way it's done, the wheels won't be coming off again without removing the brake gear but if I have to cross that bridge, I'll just bite the bullet and do it. I've yet to add the pull rods, but at the risk of setting myself up for trouble, I can't see any major problems with those.
