Moving on to the clyinders, the initial assembly was very straight forward, although rather let down by the ridiculous amount of filing needed to get the cross head to slide
Once I got the first Half moving I realised that I’ve cut the rod too short. What I don’t understand is that with the crank pin at the furthest point towards the cab, the cross head is 3mm or so off the slide-bars. Everything was assembled as per the instructions so I can’t jnderstand what I’ve done wrong. I will look at my Comet hall tomorrow and see if that gives me an idea
It was at this point I realised the error on the bogie and decided to call it a night

A quick test for of the body, the tender needs the green respraying, while the loco needs another coat of green
