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.

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.

Re: Motion and sounds packs
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.

Re: Motion and sounds packs
Phil, It looks like an engineering challenge fettling her up to get her into running order! But if anyone can do it, you can! ![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)

Re: Motion and sounds packs
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

Re: Motion and sounds packs
I followed Marks advice and the track fits almost perfectly with just a little fetling required.

Re: Motion and sounds packs
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 .
