A Bank Holiday gave the perfect excuse for some more soldering, but I'm running out of bits to solder on the body now. I put on the pipes along either side of the valancing, complete with little joints. Also got on the lamp irons and buffers.

The chassis now fits, but for the wrong wheels in the pony truck.

Still left are the guard irons on the front bufferbeam and the various bits of frame underneath the footplate but I'm waiting on getting the pony truck right before I do this. So I think I might have to get some Araldite out tomorrow and start sticking bits on.

Anything to delay trying to roll a flare on the tender!
