My next plan was to dress the back head, a part of the model that I always enjoy. Sadly when checking the parts it seems that we are missing a sprue or two which contain many of the bits need. The plan is to source replacements from Ragstone and until I get those I did a bit more of the cab internals.
There are a couple of took boxes within the cab which David has done the same size however the trusty GA reveals that the right hand side box was only half the size of the one on the left. A fact that I didn’t discover until I had folded and soldered it together. A quick bit of piercing saw action soon had it the right size.

The left hand box has a nice half etched representation of the door to which I added a 4mm scale handrail knob as the door knob (I filled the hole with some rod first). The other box didn’t have anything supplied so I added a false top and hinges to it.

It was my intention to fit the backhead to the floor and have it removeable as one unit but the toolboxes as they are don’t sit close enough to the cab side sheets. I will probably end up removing them them from the floor and fixing the floor and them in permanently leaving the backhead to be fixed later.

I also fitted the fall plate which is a nice design and easy to fit while making it rise and fall.
