Hi Alan,thanks for having a look this kit is different but again you have to think about what you are doing with some of the wood as they are very thin and will split they tend to follow the grain but a great kit for the money.

UPDATE:21.11.18. Hi all again small update this is about the haul bar which is part of the steering assembly tried to follow as instructions so this is how i made it. This is the haul bar with brass fitting.  Looking at the drawings i found that the best way was to make up a pattern by hand and glue it to the bar and work from there.

Next was to file down to shape.  Then remove pattern.  Happy with the shape the next job was to fit the brass around the end,this will be pinned and glued.  Thanks for looking, Regards Trev. Work in progress: Tombstone (Scratch) - San Francisco 2. -The Mayflower ( scratch by plan).

Hi,this week I gave the wheels a rest and moved on to the coach work,looking at the parts they needed sanding before fitting,the main point was to try and keep everything square,have a look more to follow.
