Although I intended only to make sure that the footplate fits the chassis correctly I got a little carried away and added quite a bit of detail. In reality it actually doesn’t look much but probably represents 5 or 6 hours work. 
In this kit there are quite a few parts that require trimming to fit. In fairness, the instructions do mention it and it’s better to have them oversized, than parts being too small. But it really does create a time sink.
The buffers provided are some rather nice Hobby horse items but like the LG valve guides, the etched holes are too big for the stems. So I had to turn up a couple more spacers to locate them properly. I wont bore you further, with photos of them.

I had in mind that the piston rod covers were whitemetal items so I was fully prepared to turn replacements if they were out of register like some of the other castings have been but I was pleasantly surprised to find some nice brass castings on the sprues. 

Although I have wittered, above about having to trim a good number of parts. Despite having to trim them to fit, the design of the splasher tops made them some of the easiest I have ever fitted. That is once I had them bent to the right shape and managed to hang onto them to tack solder in place – they kept slipping out of my fingers…  can’t blame the kit for my being clumsy.
