.....I fitted up all the splashers and pre prepared the body parts.
Then there's the hour when the model comes together in leaps and bounds. It mainly involves lots of measuring and so on.
If you look carefully you can see that I solder short strips of waste etch to the footplate to position the body before soldering, and yes it's a bit blobby on the inside.
I rounded the week off with some wobbly vacuum stanchions and lamp irons. The Cambrian wasn't big on lamp irons!
Next week bunker and cab interior........
