I have had a poor week at the bench, not sure if it would of made a morning session all added together. Holiday here tomorrow so a weekend at the house lets see if things can be changed around.

 

I have been mainly messing with the motor gearbox, I needed to make an adapter plate between the motor and the Roxey fold up box. I will be using a 26 to 1 ratio which I think will work quite well.

 

On the construction side, I when to add the castings to the pony, only to find that there was no room for them. I removed the etched sides of the pony and repositioned them about 2mm further in. Then trimmed the base to suit. The axle bushes were also reversed and the castings reamed out to fit over them. I have also decided how and where the centralizing spring will go.

I also assembled the steps to the cab and front drop. I am undecided at the moment whether I fix them to the body or the frames. I will look into that soon.

I am hoping that I may be able to get the frames running over the weekend.
