The engine compartment hood ready for the mold box. The access doors ( and there are two of them) will be added after the parts come out of the molds. The opening will be filled with brass wire mesh and cover radiator details as well as what appears to be a walk way down the middle.
The underframe with the bolsters propped in the approximate mount position. It is impossible to mount the trucks in the correct center to center position due to interference with the coupler draft gear box. Maybe a custom built drive would solve this. Note the dimples for the tap drill locations. Still waiting for my drill bit. Some things can't be speeded up.
I am now considering making the nose master out of a solid block of aluminum. Should work? Until next time.............
