The Chassis has had it's final finishing including fitting the outer vacuum pipes on with 12ba screws and nuts, these were originally meant to be soldered directly to the chassis but i thought that they would be somewhat vulnerable so soldered them onto separate brackets, time will tell.

You would think that after first using the stuff over thirty years a go that i would remember to use a face mask when spraying etch primer or maybe i love the smell of etch primer in the afternoon ,
cheers to all, Rob
Hi Taliesin
Oh yes this takes me back to 1998/99 when I did D6331, would you believe I spent a whole weekend demonstrating at the BRM Doncaster show making those etched steps (no wonder I have to wear glasses now) Thank goodness Fred was so kind ! thats also good news with regards the steps for the D600, cast in resin, however will they be as strong?
Keep up the good work, you nearly have a loco ready for duty on Worcester Road.
Cheers
Mr TV
