Cylinders
As I mentioned in the comments of the last entry the cylinders got soldered up the other night. Well now they are fitted to the chassis
I had to add a small amount of packing to the front edge to get the correct angle for them. The original chassis design was based on a Comet Britannia front end so the angle was not quite right. A single strip of scrap etch from the cylinders kit was perfect.
Here's a shot of the loco with the body on
Note the cylinders are slightly too far back, as soon as I can solder the packer on permanently it can be trimmed back allowing the cylinders to move forward a bit.
It's starting to look like a real one now
