JS is having a number of firebox stays sorted so is in the erecting shop being dismantled to enable the stays to be accessed.

Thanks for the update. Sorry to hear JS is having stay trouble so early in its life. Hopefully it’ll be back out soon.

Cheers
Andrew

Back home and back to the workbench. Regular downpours and frequent thunderstorms today have provided the impetus I needed to spend some more time progressing the High Level Lo-rider. I have finished soldering the main parts so cleaned them up and gave them a coat of primer. I have then been trying to figure out the gears, bushes and spacers required for each end and get them prepared and set up for assembly when the priming and painting is finished.

It seems to be a case of gently does it. The instructions are very comprehensive but cater mostly for modellers wishing to convert a Lima or Hornby motor bogie so there are large elements that I am choosing to ignore, whilst at the same time not missing something important! That is slowing my progress but I would rather think twice and cut once…
