First Run

Got the right hand coupling rods soldered up last night, looking better than the left so might do some remedial work on the left set once the chassis is all set up and running....
So with a few bits of electical wire insulation on the crank pins to hold the rods in place power was appled to the motor
it runs, just. I did expect this, the crank pin holes were drilled 1mm which is barely enough to allow the pins to pass through. I will ream out these holes a little at a time working in pairs of wheels to remove the "sticks" then give the whole lot a good run in on the rollers.
UPDATE:
tacked the crank washers in place with a little superglue and gave the chassis a run on the rollers. Pretty pleased
