I used a basic axle alignment jig to position the main bearings.

The centre bearings have been shortened to accomodate the motor and gearbox.

I have used the Hatchette replacement wheels set, having shortened the length of the wheel retaining screws to give a stronger hold.

I aligned the wheels using the spokes to fine tune wheel quartering.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with the etched coupling rods provided but to save some time I have

used those by Premier Components.

As I had hopes the large Sagami motor is very powerfull and the simple 36.1 gearing has bedded in well and runs very smoothly.

Yes ,of course, darling I totally agree with your suggestion of a glass kitchen table........................................ simples......
