RSS Fetcher Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Here's the latest on the B12 re-work. First - those who have been following this so far will note the replacement air pump. this one is pure GER and actually correct for the particular B12 that I am doing - although others had different size pumps and there were also some minor differences in mounting height. Looks much better. More work on and around the front bogie has taken place - still unsure about the new brass frames over the bogie - they need to be further inboard I think. I may re-work that. Oh - and I changed the buffers too - didn't like the originals and had trouble mounting them due to the lack of a 'spigot'. These fit better although I had to make base-plates for them. Still much to do of course on the loco body. Having said that the tender is now more or less completer apart from weathering. The DCC decoder and sound is in, all the wiring has been installed from scratch and tested - and it's running (and sounding) well. Awaiting delivery of a few sundry parts and then I can get on with the detailing of the front end, particularly on the buffer beam.
