Delivery 9



With this delivery the boiler is extended one last time, security valves are installed the upper outer skin of the firebox is applied and boiler rings are installed to hide the gaps between the different parts of the boiler.

The whole build is relatively hassle free, only installing the rings was pretty nerve wracking trying to somehow hold the boiler so you don't destroy anything, and wrangle the ring, tiny screw and nut, screwdriver and pliers at the same time. A few dozen more hands would be helpful here.

Very well done with your build.

It gets heavier and heavier. I have just started on the tender section of mine.

Hope the rest of the build goes well.

BigGrin Looking good, dont forget to offset the rear ring by the firebox to one side by about 2 cm so it will not shred the silicon tube that joins the motor to the drive shaft for the wheels.Cool

I read about that, so I installed it with the connection about a cm away from the center. If you think 2 is better, I'll move it a bit further.

I would go with 2 cm

Not quite at that stage of my build but this sounds like something i need tovwatch out for. Does this offset get mentioned in the instructions please?

No. It's something that modelers noticed when they were at the end of the build.

In essence what is happening is that the two little tabs you use to screw the sternmost band in place might interfere with operation of the motor. This can be remedied by not placing the tabs in the bottom center but offset to one side instead, so the band looks like the letter Q when viewed head on.

Thanks again.
