The frames have got soldered together and then I put together the coupling rods. These went together very easily, being made of two thicknesses of etch. As someone who doesn't built enough locos to justify a really expensive jig I'm doing this the old fashioned way. Using the coupling rods to position the horn blocks I've now got these soldered in. Each of the bearings has been paired to a horn block and it is important to mark each pair so you can match them together.

At the moment things are just a little tight, but better that way than too loose at this stage.
