Once I had the basic bogies assembled and the motors in place the next job was to assemble and detail side the resin frames.

The springs although nice castings had cast spigots which were fine on some but odd shapes on the others so I snipped them off and replaced them with some 1.6mm brass rod

Then it was time to bend up the brake pipes which although all are identical they are handed so it was a case of make four up on one hand then another four of the opposite hand. I really surprised myself in bending all eight one after the other without making a mess of any of them or having to make any extras. All the whitemetal parts were then stuck to the resin with epoxy.

Finally I added the springs.
