Blog- Dad-1's Blog - Progress & planning

Recommended Posts

We all know it should be planning and then progress, but I'm one who only reads the instructions when all else fails.

Perhaps not quite that bad ?

 

By joining the sides to a footplate beam I worked out I could hold together with a couple of elastic bands. It gives me an

overall view from which to make my changes.

 

 

 

Those handrail mountings all but block off the entrance, they have to go and handrails will run down the outside. I've also

decided that the cab windows will be fixed 3/4 glazed. To have safe movement you need to see, but this simple machine

has no window wipers, de-icing, or de-misting equipment. That open upper 1/4 provides that, you don't even need to clean

the windows !!

A decoder test, if a Hornby one will fit the Lenz mini should have oceans of space. Now to open out all the required wire routes.

 

 

 

I tried drilling for my brass handrails, but unable to get a vertical angle the lower hole to the left is way out. I'll have to de-bond

the two parts to get access, re-drill as needed. Even the exhaust system is now plugged on, my radiator will be represented

by a square of beading with a mesh insert on the other rearward half alongside that exhaust.

 

 

 

So far so good.
