The braking system is now complete and the brakes actually work even if the guard will bark his knuckles every time he turns the handle. I'm sure he'll sort out a way to stop the pain, as they say, practice makes perfect . I haven't cleaned up any of the fittings yet as I wanted to take these pictures before I stripped it all down for tidying and none of it will go back until the body has been painted. When fitting all of the several parts, I thought that some of it was a bit over scale but looking at these pictures, it doesn't look too bad after all well I think not but then, I would. The next item will be the hand rail that runs horizontally on both sides. It appears to be a series of very long U shapes joined to the fixing plates with, what looks like, a single bolt. I can see a lot of waste handrails coming out of this next step but, you never know, I might crack it first time.
