Stage 92
Your Parts: Bearings, stays, shafts, chocks, bars, washers and nuts.
Take a shaft and add a bearing to one end followed by a washer, the 'L' shaped stay is next then a nut making sure the nut is fully tightened. Add another shaft and its parts next to the one you have just fitted. Then repeat for the other end so you get a complete set of wheel rollers. Assemble the two other rollers in the same way and add them to the three slots in the base.
Next assemble the two wheel chocks by add in a chock 'A' and 'B' to each rod, Place them on the rails and adjust them so they sit correctly. Put a spot of glue on each rod end to keep the chocks in place.

Stage 93
Your parts: Ash box parts, support, silicon pads and screws.
Place the ash box bottom 'A' onto one of the ash box sides and use eight 2 x 2mm screws to fix them together, do the same for the other side. Next take the underframe and remove the trailing truck. With the underframe right side up slide in the ash box assemble and turn the underframe over.
Now add the ash box bottom 'B' to the assembly and secure it with 12 more 2 x 2mm screws. Then turn the underframe right side up and fix the ash box assembly to the underframe with four 2 x 5mm screws.
Next add a silicon pad the the rear underframe beam and then fix the ash box support to the pad and ash box with screws. Replace the trailing truck to the underframe.
Its now time to check that the wheels move freely without binding or catching and that all screws and nuts are tight on the underframe. Make adjustments to free the wheels if needed and all attachments.

Stage 95
Your parts: Gear box halves, gearbox bottom, bushes, shaft, gear, tube and screws.
Place the worm gear onto the shaft and then add a bush to each end making sure it is centred then secure the gear in place with a set screw. Add the assembly to a gearbox side making sure the thin shaft stub is on the vertical faced side. Take the remaining gearbox side and fix it to the other with three 2 X 10mm screws. Now take the silicon tube and add it to the gearbox shaft.
Take the underframe and place it right side up add the gear box by pushing the silicon tube onto the motor drive shaft then placing the gear box over the drive wheel. Turn the underframe over and add the gearbox bottom to the gearbox enclosing the drive wheel. Fix the gearbox bottom to the gearbox with four 2 X 6mm screws. Turn the assembly over and check that the wheels turn correctly by turning the motor drive shaft.

Stage 96
Your parts: Brake levers, shoes, beams, and screws.
Attach the six brake shoes to the levers with six 2 X 6mm screw making sure you have three left handed and three right handed sets. Take the underframe and turn the wheels until the three brake attachments can be seen. Add three brake sets to each side using six 2 X 3mm screws. Adjust the brake shoes so they fit snugly to the wheels.
Turn the underframe over and add the three pins to the brake levers, fixing pin 'A' at the front followed by the two 'B' pins. When they are in position fix with a dab of glue.
Its now a good idea to go over the assembled model and check for any glue marks or small chips of paint that may have come off during the build. Use a small brush to add paint to these area's, the closest paint I have found to match the model is Vallejo 70.950 Acrylic Black, FS37038.

Turn the under frame over and add the draw bar to the rearmost beam fixing it in place with the pivot screw.
Place the underframe right way up and place the upper engine assemble on the underframe fix it at the rear with two screws then at the front of the engine add a coupler set to the bottom row of holes fixing in place with two hex screws. Place the short coupler in position on the coupler set then add the upper set and fix this in place with two more hex head screws.

Congratulations – your C57 is now complete !
In one of the finished build pictures you will see the case that fits over the base to protect your model this case is not included with the build but is available as an optional extra in the Forum Tools and Accessories pages , link below:-
