Buffer beams first



Then a bit of underneath work battery boxes and air tanks and bogie mounts. also, you can see the connecter to plug into the passenger coach as the bus connecter.









The side view with body dry fitted on the bogies also shows the inner backing to the side vents drawn on the louvres to the grey card.



That's all for now.

[Michael Mash]

Looks good in that last image David.
It is coming together nicely.

Thanks, Mike.

Back to the buffer coupling frame building out the bases for the buffers and coupling plate.







back to the body and glueing on the outer skins that i previously fixed to the outer part of the 1mm card making the sides 3mm thick. you can also see the centre rooms that house the cooling fans.



added the driver's jacket to the spare seatback.



fixed in place the cab ceiling and added the cab light.





testing the light



side view.



fixing the end skins these were tricky as they had to line up with the side windows and the front opening
