1F first assembly
Spent a couple of hours this evening fitting conrods to the 1F and cutting out some of the inner footplate to allow them to turn freely.
The photo above shows the chassis and body fitted together for the first time. The motion works nice and smoothly when pushed with a finger; the lead pushed into the boiler coming into play.
Before the motor is fitted I need to do a bit more fettling to make the rear end sit in a little more snugly, and add a few more details to the chassis.
I also spent a while repainting the rails and sleepers on Little Midland. Next stop ballasting.
I have sent off the EC Scenics for some Woodland Scenics buff and light grey ballast. I am still not sure what to use as yet, and hope that one of those, or even a mix of the two might be a solution.
Regards
Chris
