The bogie mount. This comprises a plastic ring, cut in two, glued in front and behind the bogie to give a circle within which the bogie can rotate. Pieces were glued on the sides of the chassis top and bottom to sandwich the lip on each side of the bogie, and prevent it dropping out.

This compares my scratchbuilt underframe with that of the Farish 66. Given they used CAD and I didn't, I'm pretty happy with mine, especially given I built it before my 66 arrived

A side shot showing how the motor was attached to the chassis. Two thin plastic strips are glued accross the chassis to provide an isolated mounting, and the motor is offset to one end to avoid the internal ribs on the body. These are the solid bulkheads included in the kit, but with the centre cut out to allow room for the motorisation

Farish 66 with the 67 for comparison

The roof details. The Worsley Works kit comes with a 66 style exhaust recess (as do GM's plans) so this needed correcting. Much time was spent with plastic and filler correcting this, and though not perfect, I am happy with the results.

Again, another shot comparing the 66 and 67 exhaust setup. I jsut need to build the silencer now for the 67.
