RSS Fetcher Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Started on the rebuilding of the frames today. Why do things that worked before stripping down fail to work on rebuilding? It is just so annoying. I was more fussy then usual with getting it all to work prior to painting. The motor and gears now run smoothly again, with rewashering. The compensation needed a little tweaking to operate properly. The dummy valve gear to me looks good now it is painted and back inbetween the frames. I did check to make sure the frames still went into the body alright. It was always a bit tight with the vacuum pipes etc in the way. I am pleased so far. I just want to get the pickups fitted and get it all running sweetly before I finish off the body. So why did I bother with all the stuf between the frames? I know on some locos there is a lot of daylight to fill but not here. Well, At least it it adds some adhesion weight.
