It been a good six months since my first post, I have been at it steadily and must admit these postings  has been a great help.

I will carry on and what I have found was not to assemble in publication sequence but to un pack forward and the re-schedule the sequence.

This is of course possible if one has all the issues at hand.

The motion and valve gear assembly , I found difficult and battled to make items fit properly 

I have won there and wheels is stripped off now 

Attached a few photos of my progress

Tried as I may but could not solder the  connecting rods  and had to super glued them.

I bought and is in possession of Issue 1 to 125 collected them all via the CNA in South Africa and 2 month ago decided to start on it.

I am now sorry that I did not start it at the time of issue 

But very fortunately found this  community and this model particular BUILD fantastic it has been a help to no end 

I just hope I can persevere and do the job at hand 

Going to give it a go

Might be looking for issues that require fixing of mistakes 

Will be back with comments
