Whilst waiting for some custom detailing parts for the Ivatt tank, I've made a start on a Dave Bradwell chassis for a B1 loco.
So far, I've prepared some etched parts and folded up the inner chassis and positioned the outer frames, as shown below.
Construction will basically follow Dave's instructions but one deviation so far has been to double up the material thickness where holes have to be tapped 10BA. Not sure why such massive screws are used, 14BA would be more than adequate and less intrusive.
