Speaking of brake gear...
Far more straight forward than the Dia.72 was!

More progress tonight, after I finished studying for the evening, saw the wheels, axle guards and brake shoes fitted:
I'm allowing myself weekends off so I'm hoping to get the physical build finished by Sunday evening and painting can then be done as and when thereafter.

I surprised myself by actually meeting the deadline I set* and getting the van built and ready for painting over the course of this weekend:
*The roof detail and handrails will be fitted after initial painting.
Since the previous post, axlebox covers, springs, brake levers, buffers, drawhooks and brake pipes have all been fitted, along with the roof.
I've even put a first coat of blue on the roof...
I'm happy with how this has progressed until now but accept the painting will very much continue as and when. At least the last photo can whet the appetite for what's to come in the meantime!
