Next pack has arrived Bogies go together well and have some nice details. Tender is getting quite heavy as well. Will need a good clean up at the end of the build. Not too much left to do now Al Spal attached the following image(s):

Looking Good. Wait till you see the base  “Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.”

Pack 21 parts. Everything went together as per the instructions The tender is almost complete. Then the base ends assembled, its going to be a substantial weight once the base is completed.  Only 4 packs left but still lots to do. Al Spal attached the following image(s):

Pack 22 Packs larger than normal and a lot to do. A simple bolt together of the sides making sure the cut out is in the correct place. A view of the base frame assembled. The base top plates,i had a few marks on mine but these should be covered by future parts. Parts fitted, its certainly a substantial display base. The speaker unit parts. The speaker parts fitted into the base. Battery box and control panel switch assembly. A closer look at the control panel, the switches work well. A view from underneath showing the battery box and control panel, note the cutaway behind the battery box. Al Spal attached the following image(s):
