Been a bit busy recently with kitchens and ISO courses at work, but I've finally fitted one brake hanger to the chassis and it has become apparent that once they are all fitted the wheels will not come off.

This means that the chassis will need painting before the brakes are fitted. The hangers are glued to the frames in any case to isolate them from the live chassis sides, so no real hardship. I'll continue to fabricate them whilst I make a start on the valve gear.

One step forward, two steps back .....
