Much grinding of teeth

P1080287

Here you can see that the slidebars are in place, after much filing, bending, fiddling, altering etc and they slide well.  This took over an hour to sort.

Also installed are the handbrake, reverser and coupling hooks.  I have decided to add a three link chain and hook to the engine as reasonably prototypical.

Next I hope to finish the rods.

I will soon need the motor and extra etches from Slaters – will they be in the post today?
