Not much to show really since the last update - although a lot of thought and planning has been done

here's the Caprotti gear with plasticard slivers epoxied to the backs of the lubricator castings. These will fit into the slots in the cast lubricator mounts on the chassis. The rear mounting points will be bonded to the already fabricated rear bracket.

The seconds shot shows the Hornby cylinders modified with the GA castings. The tops of the cylinders were cut away with razor saw and then the castings trimmed up to fit and again epoxied into place.

I will drill holes in the rear faces of the castings to accept the two rods from the caprotti gear which will give a nice reliable 3 point fixing for the gear which will still allow for removal for painting and servicing.

The firebox sides below the footplate have also been glued in place and the front running plate next to the buffer beam has been filed back to the correct angle. The casting as supplied still retains the Britannia arrangement.

Should be at least together and running for Saturday
