David Andrews Princess Royal – Cab Dials.

Still working on the back head, because I am using a mixture of David Andrews and Just Like the Real Thing castings, I have had to move/reduce the size of all the holes except the one for the regulator mounting boss. The JLRT castings are really nice (as are the couple of David Andrews castings that I have) except for the cab dials which are a bit misshapen and the ‘unions’ for where the pipes are proving impossible to drill. The simplest and quickest way was to make some more swarf by turning some more.

Then I realised that I also needed a smaller version

It made sense while I had the set up to do some for the Rebuilt Scot at the same time.

Then I dug out the mountings and attached the dials to them.
