Judith Edge Steelman Royale axlebox horns.

4 per wheel, 16 in total. The inner ones are attached to a pair of spacers laminated together. To locate everything accuratly the inner horns and spacers are rivetted, the rivets in one part locating in the half etched holes in the other. The frames are also rivetted to locate the outer horns, which aren't rivetted. Perhaps some photos might help...

And an outer horn in place;

A little tricky to position, I used a crocadile clip to hold the outer horns in place. Crude but it worked...

Lower steps and footplate handrails next.

I hope I'm not boring people with too much detail...

Definitely not - the more detail the better!

 

I've got one of these kits on order, so this blog will undoubtedly be read and re-read once I get going on the build.

 

Thanks for taking the time to post all of this.

 

Cheers

Hello :)

 

I agree with Alistair, definately not boring!

 

Were those pictures taken with the new camera?

Definitely not, I have about 12 Judith Edge Kits to start so this will be a great source of reference

Thanks for the comments, I'll keep the detail coming! Its nice to know that people are taking notice of my blog - I'm sure my workbench on the old rmweb was largely ignored... (but then it did feature some pretty obscure stuff).

Missy - yes the photos were taken on the new camera, I'm still getting to grips with it. But I had to leave film behind at some stage...
