Some good progress this weekend. I decided to leave the bogies for a while and do a bit more on the body. The first job was to put in the other piece of brass angle that runs inside the body, just above solebar level. This was a replacement for the original, which got distorted. It went in quite well, although about 2mm too short.

I then turned to the cab doors. These are flat, and have to have the top and bottom folded over, and the bodyside also has to be folded over to create the recessed door aperture. The door is soldered on to the inside of the aperture.

Folding the bodyside over neatly was tricky. I made a half decent job using a right angle block, a piece of angle iron, a small hammer & a pair of pliers. The result is not quite as straight and crisp as I'd like, and the doors don't fit squarely,  but it's the best I can do.

I also fitted the lower cab front panel. This is supplied flat, so I used an old rolling pin and a piece of brass rod to get the curves as best as I could. I'm quite pleased, the end result is not too bad.

This is the state of play with the bogies. Apart from the brake cylinders on one set of frames, both are almost complete, and just require the sideframes soldering to the chassis.

I'm not quite sure about the Delrin chain, it seems a bit loose, so may need a rework.
