Work has progressed on the Steelman. A few photos are attached showing the underframe with axlebox guides and multi-layer bufferbeams - 5 laminations. The kit has pretty much been built to the instructions so far. Problem with soldering the big bits of brass is that you forget that they remain very hot for a couple of minutes after! The footsteps are particularly nice bits of etching.

I quite like building Edge kits as my my fotopic site shows
