WLWR a bit away from my setting, but honestly I'd love one too. What chassis is it made for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oxford Dean Goods, which is within 1mm of the prototype wheelbase and perfect wheel diameter, the wires connecting the tender pickups to the loco will need to be soldered together to enable it to run without the tender The 800 class is officially finished awaiting the first test print 9 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Killian Keane Posted August 30 Author Share Posted August 30 Thanks very much all! truly praise from Caesar The surface finish in person is significantly better than the last sample, however there were some unfortunate marks on the boiler and smokebox which are down to the printer having to be cleaned out, as well as a small hole in the running board on the front right side I am particularly pleased with the way the M2.5 nut is held, it goes in this little trough as shown, the model is tipped forward to line it up with the hole, and then the chassis can be inserted, and the original mounting hole used 11 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
