Thanks Rob. I figured it must be something like that with the springs. Nice looking assembly.

Hi all

It's been a long time since I last posted, I haven't been idle, it's just that work has gotten in the way of real life so progress has been slow. Here is the front end and smokebox saddle

Hi Rob, nice to see an update on this!

You should show us a family shot if you get a chance sometime.  It'd be nice to see where your at with the whole thing.

Thanks,
Kim

Thanks for the update on your project, the detail and complex construction of this model are impressive and the finished loco should be a fine thing.   Dave
