I'm no Loco buff, and the instructions could be better with detail, as I've read all the instructions and no where does it tell you about fitting some of the parts so once I've built this up as per the instructions I'll have to go back and see whats left and work out where they go. One of the main parts are the locos springs which sit just behind the splashers, no where does it tell you when to fit these on My Favourite Building:- 1919 https://forum.model-spac...=339517&#post339517 -

Nice build, great to see something different. Some great detail on it, sounds like the instructions aren’t as good as the kit. Mark

Hi Mustang, I must state and apologise for being very late on parade for this build. It is very rare that we get a train build on the forum and this looks like a very nice kit. Lots of different materials involved in this kit, so a test of skills that I`m sure you are up to. I look forward to seeing more of this one.
