Hi
I've had a little time between the layout work to progress the Aspinall saddle tank, aided by the 2 days demonstrating at the BRM show in Peterborough, and took some photos this morning in the decent light.
The first one shows the basic chassis, milled frames and rods, and general battleship construction. I'm not compensating or springing this one.
The next three show some details on the chassis - Laurie Griffin brake hangers, shoes and spreaders, and Warren Shephard springs.
The next is of general progress to date.
This shows the bunker and buffer beam, together with the nutted buffers!
The body was built separately from the running plate, on a piece of glass, and these two units will be screwed together after painting.
And finally for the moment, the 3 units separate.
I'm currently awaiting some Laurie Griffin cast L&Y lamp irons before I can do too much more to the body, so it's back on the chassis now.
Richard
