Wot, no room for another kg of lead??

Looking good old fruit.
Actually, I think there is. Trouble is, it’ll be at the front again.

Do you remember the craze for custom cars with the front bumper scraping along the road, and oversize rear wheels like a dragster…

Nice work Simon. Does that mean the rear steps etc will be fixed to the chassis via the plate, rather than the footplate? Cunning.
Cunning as a fox with a PhD in cunning…

(and it means they can be braced too, rather than hanging from the edge of the footplate, waiting to be knocked & bent)

Yes, knocked and bent when the body rolls over and drops, bending the steps. Got that t-shirt.

Simon,

What a feat, 9 bogies behind a small pannier tank!!! More than adequate for Chris's needs. I never thought it would hauled that sort of load, almost effortlessly.

The video didn’t show it, but not effortlessly, it was working rather harder than I liked!

still, I’m pleased with it.

The motor-gearbox is excellent, and I’m delighted with how the chassis has worked out.
The haulage power? Let’s just remember how heavy it is!
