And so to the underpinnings. All basic stuff bar one thing. I don’t usually like plain bearings, but these were to hand. The oval holes were opened out to 2mm and the bearings pushed in. The outside edges of the W-irons at the back of the solebar needed a couple of file strokes to get them to drop into the chassis ribs. And here is the different bit. Every wagon kit I’ve built has the same issue; the location mouldings are always too far in. The remedy of course is simple, as can be seen, I add a mil ether side. Result: no splayed axleboxes after the wheels go in.
