Thanks for your comments chaps
Her's a few more in process shot build:-
The horn blocks were made from the off cuts of the cylinders
The frames were Laser cut the horns were screwed in place and the frames bolted back to back and the horns milled out so that everything lines up
The horizontal streachers were just 3/8" black plate the vertical streachers were laser cut fabrications silver soldered together.
Drag Beam was also a LASER cut fabrication silver soldered together.
Hers a few shots of the assembly so far
I've now made a start on the wheels axles and axle boxes I'll up date you when they are done.
Cheers
Stew
