During the handrail fitting I discovered I was a bit heavy handed. But easily fixed...and the break will be under the cab when finished.

I've been after a Drewry and when I saw that Sparkshot do a body I raided the casualty department for an old 03 chassis with dodgy coupling rods. Surplus bits removed and hard wired it ran fine on DC so I ordered a kit. Bits are here - I received 2 sets of buffers as there was a minor glitch with the first order. All seems well...I shaved a bit too much off one of the internal mounting points during clean up and needed to add a sliver of styrene to keep everything level.

I ended up buying a set of these from Shawplan. They can be made to fit. DP50-01Buffer beam footsteps for Lima Class 50.B4mm Hornby do not have spares..which is a shame as two of my four were loose or off when I got the new loco...
