Thanks Mike, it's a bit of a relief to have it back - even with a snagging list for its next trip up to Swindon
Anyway, I got down to the shed tonight for a bit of metal bodging with yet more etch waste, my aim was to produce and fix two bolsters to the 122 chassis.
I've managed it, some of the soldering isn't too pretty but all is fixed securely and squarely in place and I reckon the holes are on the right centres too, or close enough
The "top view"
And from underneath
Next up are more cross pieces in old rail towards the centre of the chassis and cutting out and fitting of buffer planks to each end.
