Add frame support plates (137x2) to the rear of the chassis followed by bogie support bracket (156), then add the mechanical

stoker (155).

Assemble the gearbox (214) as per the accompanying instructions trimming the worm shaft as shown. Do not force the worm

onto the shaft. Carefully ream the worm bore using a 2.Omm drill or hand reamer so that the worm fits the shaft without

undue force. Use a spot of superglue of Loctite 601 to permanently fix in place. Clean the shaft of excess glue or Loctite

thoroughly.

Trim the flexible tube (213) to length as shown and fit to the worm shaft of the gearbox - check that the ends of the worm

shaft and motor shaft are free of sharp edges with could damage the tubing. Fit the tubing to the motor and fit the gearbox

onto the axle gear. Fit the gearbox keeper plate (215) using screws (216x2). Oil the mechanism and apply power to test the

chassis.

Complete detailing the front pilot deck with handrail post (192) and footplate inserts (193x2). Fold front step (190) as shown

and add front step tread (191) before fitting to the buffer beam. Fix guard irons (189xpair) in place and add brake hose (187)

and buffers (188x2), finally add lamp brackets (186x4).

Bogies Drawing 6 (Parts 223 - 231)

Make up the rear pony truck using rear pony body (223),12mm disc bogie wheel (224) and keeper plate (225). Attach the

assembled bogie to the chassis using M2 nut (231). Makeup the front bogie using front bogie body (226), 9mm spoked bogie

wheels (227x2) and keeper plates (228x2) - ensure that the insulated wheels are on the same side. Attach the assembled bogie

to the chassis using spring (221), bogie bearing washers (222) and (229), and M2 nut (230), with the insulated wheels on the

R/H side.

Locomotive Body Drawings 1, 2 and 3 (Parts 47 - 128)

Remove the cab (47) from the etch and fold as per Drawing 3, folding also the small locating tabs at the bottom front of the

cab. Take the window frames (50x2) and fix to the inside of the cab windows. Fix the mechanical stoker detail (49) to the rear

spectacle plate (48) before fixing the spectacle plate to the cab. Take the boiler (51) and smokebox (53) and drill all holes as

indicated in Drawings 3 and 4. Remove pump mounting plate (55) from the etch, fold as per Drawing 3 and fix to the

smokebox (53). Remove the saddle seating plate (54) from the etch, fold down one end as shown and fix to the underside of

the smokebox (53). Now fix the smokebox (53) to the boiler (51) ensuring that they are correctly aligned. Fix the ash pans

(68xpair) either side of the firebox. Fit the assembled cab to the rear of the boiler and fix in place.

Fix the air tank (106) to the L/H side of the boiler. Fix firebox supports (63x2) either side of the firebox, and fix centre support

(64) to the R/H side of the boiler. Fix leading support (65x2) either side of the boiler.

Remove the footplates (66xpair) from the fret, note the L/H side has a large cutout to clear the air tank (106). Take the valance

strips (67x2) and solder them to the underside of the footplates (66xpair) O.5mm in from the outside edge.

Note that the front of the valance strips must be set back from the front of the footplates to clear the footplate inserts (193x2)

previously fitted to the front footplate (183).

Locate the tab on the rear of the footplate into the slot in the cab front and position the front of the footplate under the blast

pipe spigot either side of the smokebox (53). Check the alignment before fixing in place. Add footplate access panels (87x2)

to the top of the footplates. On the R/H side footplate add air tanks (85x2) and small air tank (82). Note that the etched lines

on the underside of the footplate indicate their location. Fix the cab step plates (6lxpair) at the rear of the footplates before

adding cab step detail plates (62xpair).

Fix the short handrail knobs (98x6) to the front of the cab followed by junction box (69). Using 0.4mm wire, make up and fit

handrails to the cab front. Commence detailing the boiler/firebox, fitting chimney (59), adding three 0.4mm handrails to the

sandbox as shown, steam dome (58) safety valves (57), steam turret (56), R/H turret valve (86), and L/H turret valve (115),

steam generator (70), boiler safety valve (71), clack valves (72) and (105), and whistle (104).

Fix in place R/H marker lamp (79) and L/H marker lamp (107) before fitting smokebox door (60). Drill all required holes in

the smoke box door and fit the short handrail knobs (94x4), (95x2) and (96x3), headlight (73), smoke box door handle (74).

Fold step treads (75x2) and fix in place. Fit the air pump (78) - because of its vulnerability, it is recommended that the air

pump filter (76) be fitted later.

At this stage it is recommended that the heaver pipe work (0.7mm wire) be fitted before the remainder of the small detailing

parts.
