I decided to fit a brass sleeve to the piston rod. It was during the exercise I discovered that the cylinder ends can be removed from the main cylinder moulding and so a cunning plan was hatched.
With a bit of filing, the ends were pushed out 0.5mm allowing the sleeve to be fitted further away from the main chassis. I was still debating whether I'd need to move the slide bars out as well, but on reassembly it all seemed to work quite well. The black plasticard spacer is to push out the cylinders so they are parallel with the side of the chassis. So far so good.
The rear pony truck has been refitted and the ash pan castings from Albert Goodall glued on.
Starting to come together.
I also took the opportunity to snap the Bachman N mogul which has emerged from the painting/weathering shop.
