Still a little in catch up mode from when rmweb was down.
First part that's really been made, the ash pan. First is the ash pan then sitting under the firebox spacer where it will belong.
I then realised I would need some sides for part of the firebox. Again the first picture shows them net to the spacer, followed by where they'll be against the frames.
Smoke box next. The front and rear were cut out together, and the wrapper was cut from 010” sheet.
The boiler was next up, this is actually mark 2, I managed to roll it the wrong way first time. Took me a while to figure out why it was to short and to large in diameter. I'm a bit slow sometimes.
I was cross with myself for making the frames flat topped and not more prototypically. Só tô try and remedy this I cut some half moons which I hope will solder to the frames, the over size horn guides will aid by reinforcing the joint.
Some more parts were cut, these are the brake lever supports and the hand brake levers. The power brake levers on the other side will be done when I can measure the length. The dummy compensation beams for the bogie were also part of the session.
Here they are just cut out.
The levers and brackets filed up.
The beam also filed.
