I thought rather than start posts for the various models i am making i decided it would be better to transfer it all here.

Slowly is my new key to building kits & it is working a treat & slowly i have been building a LRM brake 3rd. Now the original idea was to use a cleminson system from brassmasters to make the chassis straight forward but i thought that following the instructions would be better. The kit origins are from d&s models & they are a kit i think are well designed & well etched & this is more or less the same as the last d&s kit i built ( straight forward )

I have come to a bit of a head scratching moment which has got the so its time to ask for a bit of help.

The instructions state the following;

fold up the centre bearing cradle & plates , & assemble these by locating tab in slote in base.

thin slots for OO either side or wider one for em 18 83. try bearings & wheelsets in position in position & crank plates to suit back to back wheel dimensions make this centre axel stub ended only.

Now i have followed this to the best of my ability but i am struggling with this area because i dont fully understand the instructions. the problem i am having is the bearing & wheelsets. This is meant to be a floating centre axel & the w irons have bearing holes fitted but the etch for the floating axel has these parts fitted which somehow fit the wheels but i am not not sure how can anyone shed some light on this please. Please find below some images of the chassis & the part in question.

Having finished off building the parts above i am happy to say i have almost completed the chassis. Its running sweet & everything is working well. I used 4 two pence pieces for weight after reading somewhere that it is about 40 grams .
