joints first then "fillet" the joint with Plastibond. Small detail parts are best glued with Superglue.

It does not matter which method you choose but dry fitting parts will ensure a good fit.

Electrical pickup

The electrical system used on these kits is called "half live". The front bogie collects current from the live wheels on one side for

one polarity, and the rear bogie from the opposite side for the remaining polarity.

Cleaning up/Painting

On completion, any areas which were soldered should be washed using a soft brush and methylated spirits. Alternatively an

excellent pressure pack flux remover is also available from Dick Smith stores. Then wash the thoroughly in warm soapy water.

Rinse with clean water and allow to dry thoroughly before applying a suitable selfetch primer.

Spare Parts

Spare parts are available on a replacement basis. Should any part be missing or damaged contact AR Kits for a replacement. Should

you have any problems with the Mashima motor please do not attempt to repair it yourself, return the motor to us. Mashima will not

replace motors which have been tampered with.

Should you have any queries or problems with construction please drop us a note and we will do our best to advise. Likewise we

would be pleased to hear any suggestions you may have for improving the kits or instructions.

General

The following drill sizes are required: 0.4mm and 0.7mm.

During construction refer to the drawings at all times. A number of parts are quite similar, so double check if in doubt. Note that

attached to the instructions is a photocopy of the lost wax brass castings sprues with each part numbered for easy identification. In

the general instructions the part numbers are shown in brackets.

To minimise the risk of losing parts, do not remove them from the etched fret or the plastic packing until you are ready to use them.

Safety First

These models are not toys and are not suitable for young children. White metal castings contain lead and modellers are

advised to wash their hands after working with unpainted white metal castings. When using superglue, solder or when

spray painting ensure your work area is well ventilated

Chassis Drawing 1 (Parts 1- 28)

Take chassis (1x2), checking they fit together squarely and are straight when fitted together. Secure with screws (2x2) and nuts

(3x2). Now assemble underframe detail by first fixing fuel tanks (4 & 7) onto the frames (6x2) as shown, before fixing Then fix to

the underneath of the footplate. It is best to fit fuel fillers (5x2) to the fuel tanks when the body is in position on the chassis. Drill

out the holes for the pipes in the air cylinders (8x2) 0.7mm, then fix them across the frames (6). Make up the pipes from 0.7mm

wire after the fuel fillers have been added. Fix coupling housing boxes (9x2) into locating holes at the ends of the footplate. The

main chassis is now completed and ready for the bogies.

Take the motor (10) and secure onto the motor fixing plates (11 & 12) with screws (13x4) checking that the bottom faces which

locate on the chassis are level. Push the female couplings (22Bx2) onto the motor until they are pushed fully home as shown. See

Drawing 1A.

Glue bottom insulators (14x2) into the locating holes on the underneath of the chassis. Remove the rear towers (16x2) from the

bogies (15) (two screws on each bogie) and fix the bogies to the chassis with screws (21x2), at the same time adding parts (17x2,

18x2, 19x2, 20x2). Now reinstall the rear towers at the same time fitting the coupling shafts (22Ax2). Oil all moving parts with an

appropriate gear oil and test run. The mechanism will be noisy at first until the gears and drive are bedded in. Solder the insulated

wire (23) to (20x2) and then solder the other ends onto the correct motor connectors for polarity.

Fix steps (24x4) and brake cylinders (25x12) onto the bogie side frames (26x2) and (27x2). Fix speedo boxes (28x2) to A end if

required. Now fix bogie side frames onto the bogies (15x2).

Body Drawing 2 (Parts 29 - 49)

Assemble the two cabs using cab fronts (29x2), cab roof (30x2), R/H cab side (31x2) and L/H cab side (32x2). Drill out all the

handrail holes 0.4mm. See Drawing 3 before assembling cabs onto the main body. Take the main body (33) and check that the

shape matches correctly with the assembled end cab units. Now fix vents (34x2), access plates (H) (35x2) and (A) (36x2) to the

inside of the body.
