Hi put these 2 stages together as they are identical, just left and right hand. Here we screw a bracket to the deflector. Then glue the frame on from the rear.there are couple little marks on the frames to guide position.then it's glue the bracket into boiler and screw the Base to the running board at same time attaching the bypass inspection lid,and a little plate that goes under the running board.this concludes pack 8.cheers mick.

Here first of all we we glue the spring bracket to the spring bracket, then screw them to the chassis with the equaliser mount.then it's put in the short link with screw and bolt,then screw in the equaliser.with another screw and nut. Then screw in a spring via 2 more links,one medium one long. Repeat this on the other side. Then screw in 2 rollers to the trailing truck assembly.then screw this assembly to the main chassis.i decided to then put thredlock on the nuts to all equalisers.as don't want these coming loose when running.this is it for engine till last pack when final parts fit to it.start of the tender next.cheers mick.
