Springing the bogie.
I'd like to have had it pretty much done tonight but the kit fought back! The holes for the Slaters square axleboxes were well oversized and needed filling by 1mm which was a complete pain and took well over an hour. To be fair to the kit though the supplied bearings were the correct size.
And then the frame material is far too thick so had to absolutely muller the axleboxes to get easy movement of one side of the axle down and the other side up.
The sides need to be snapped off of the central transom so that the frames can be widened by around 5mm!
I was going to clean all the solder up until I decided to stick a 10a blade into my thumb!
