I`ve virtually completed the superstructure and just have the front and rear steps to fit and the cab backplate to assemble.

Before all that it is time to complete the chassis. I messed up with the coupling rod and ended up with a badly binding mechanism and this was solved by opening the front axle rod to an oval hole .

So, before moving forward with it ,wheels and motor were set up to day for a thorough test of build so far...................

The plan for this week is then fully detailing the chassis.......................................................

So, chassis completed ( less brake blocks to enable wheels to come off for painting) and all that is left is to fit the dome valves and add a rear edge to the cab roof and then body and chassis are done.
