Resin is used for the axleboxes and the damper brackets and hornstays, as well as other detail parts. The damper brackets sit above the axleboxes in half etched recesses on the frames and need to be superglued in place before the axleboxes are fitted. On the photo below both damper brackets are fitted but only the right hand axlebox. On the left side the hornstay is fitted, the instructions state that these should be fitted between the horns but studying photos shows them to be fitted to the bottom of the horns, there being a plate between the horns for the hornstays to bolt onto from below. I glued pieces of .040" square plastic to the top of the stays to fit between the horns before gluing them in place. The other hornstays can be seen in the photo waiting to be fitted. Also fitted were the cheetahs on the valance sides, quite how cheetahs fit in with slow shunting locos I'm not sure (the're the Thomas Hill logo I think). Superglue was used for all of this.

A shot of the loco with one frame side complete next to my new toy (arrived today);

The next job will be preparing the frames for spraying. The body can wait untill I decide what I'm doing with the beacon...
