A little bit more progress.
Muffs shortened slightly to allow for springs/pickups and wheels added ... motor mounted by dint of super gluing a strip of double gapped PCB to it and then soldering that to the frames from below ... clearances checked with body and boiler in place ... and then the motor was connected up to the frames and power applied ... and thankfully the wheels turned!
Now for the quartering and the coupling rods ...
