Well busy day off.
A little work today on the tender fitting alignment pegs to the tank to locate into the frame and fitting the battery compartments to the floor.
But surprisingly I received two packages today.
First was the wheel castings.
I had 5 made up as each cost me $25.
But my other order which arrived was the lasercut wood! At a labour cost of $29, I cant complain.
And first thing I did was build the cab
Still a bit of checking to do before I glue all the walls together. May just want to wait until I get further on the loco.
And I glued the wooden pilot together
Will still require some carefully placed nails to make it completely solid.
Its been a productice weekend.
