I haven't touched this one for quite some time. A few 'problems' with it made me put it to one side for a while. However I got fed up with looking at it in the display cabinet unfinished and now I've decided that its time to look at it again. I have most of the parts to finish it so theres really no excuse. I'm not going to be able to make a great model from it but I'll try to make the best of a bad job. Its not going to be an 05, just a generic industrial (the 05's were based on a Hunslet industrial design).
So tonight I had a look at the cab, which is not too bad. I've made up an insert for the cut-out on the front panel to reduce the hole size to the minimum that will clear the gearbox. I've also made up a floor, again with a cut-out to clear the gearbox. Everything is now soldered in place.
Some pics;

On the chassis, note the gearbox protruding into the cab;
Next job will be to attach the bonnet to the footplate.
