Hi Guys,

My name is Eddy. I'm a Dutch guy living just across the border in Germany.
I just started the D51. I started a building blog on a Dutch forum D51 Blog.

Because there are no Dutch D51 builders, known to me, I will post my question here.

When I put the handle trough the smokebox door, it fits very loose (mind that I did not yet glued the end tip to the handle).
So when the door is open the handle can move in and out!
Should it not be locked somehow on the inside of the door?

BigGrin Hi Eddy

Firstly welcome to the forum and have a great build.
Now for your question the handle end once glued on will go through the slot in the bar across the smoke box turn the handle untill the bar is stopping the door opening then use the second outer handle to lock it in place by winding it back towards the smoke box door. Hope this helps.

Regards
