    Nice picture! The class 11 looks even more bully in VR livery.

    There is not much space on both sides, however 10.5 is not so much difference to 9.42mm 

    There should be absolutely no problem to solder on the cosmetic outer frames some 0.6mm wider and file off on the step sides.

    Basically I think I´ve already done this widening because the axleboxes are protruding a bit more than the recesses of the outside axles do. (Oh: I´m sure this is the wrong wording. I´ll make some photos of my butcherings from underneath via PM. Later that day , i.e tomorrow) cheers Klaus

      Your wording is fine. I'm going to learn some deutsche so you can laugh at me. I think it's only fair.

      I like what you've done. It's inspired me to get mine finished.

      ... and I still only understand half of it when you´re talking (joking particularly). I´ve sent you some pics to your private email address and have exchanged my latest photos. I´ve geared the chassis "the other way round" with the smaller gears below. Runs fine ... now next step

      cheers

      ... when adding the cranks to the class 11 I´ve noticed that there is much play in the gears, much more than the coupling rods would allow. Thus all these nice gears only add to the weight but do not take over any load from the coupling rods. There is a quite easy mesh and the gears chosen may contribute to this. So on another model this might differ but here I think the full gear is superfluous. I´ve made the cranks with a double layer of etches. With your class F you might jug out with the coupling rods if you´d do so as well. You may avoid the triple layer coupling rods for the same reason. Or is the footplate for the class F wider than the class 11? Shall I make photos?

      cheers
