Motion and sounds packs

She looks all fairlawn plonked in my tracked barrow ( the easiest way to move these big lumps around with a degenerative spine) I have to fit the motion and sounds packs only but still worth posting the progress as it happens.

That's you busy all summer Phil!

Na shouldn't take long but I do have the running gear to sort out as well. I see the rear lights have be trashed in transit.

Lots done. The body has been removed. There are some nice details on this model.

I'm getting my teeth into her now and I am slowly finding the areas that need fetling, it's all very tight around those road wheels. It's worth noting that this model was built by its last owner as a "static" and build very well. Time in damp conditions has taken its toll.

A little more done today.

Phil, It looks like an engineering challenge fettling her up to get her into running order! But if anyone can do it, you can!

Lots done this afternoon.

She's now fighting me all the way but I'm winning.

Phil the outer diameter of the new style sprocket tyres needs be 123.5 to 124mm. The tracks will then sit correctly. I turned my glued tyres down in a lathe whilst on the sprockets.
Thanks,
Mark

That makes perfect sense Mark thankyou! I shall now turn my lathe black with rubber dust.

I followed Marks advice and the track fits almost perfectly with just a little fetling required.

A taxing days work. It's fighting me all the way, everything interferes with its neighbour but I will methodically go through it , some of the tyres need reducing in diameter just a little to clear the hub of the adjacent wheel set, some of the rubber has a proud casting "rib" on one side which is rubbing the bobbin hubs .
