Christmas Train - Santas Sleigh

The Sleigh kit was built just before last Christmas but it has taken me until now (October) to mount it onto its flat truck. This is the process including a recap of the builds of the sleigh and flat truck.

Both the Sleigh and flat truck came in this same form

Both vehicles completed and ready for paint.

The sleigh has been glued on the flat truck ready for the chain to be fitted.

Chain hooks are added

And then the chain. Coupling hooks have also been added.
The rest of the Christmas train will follow soon.

Change to updates

The current update frequency is leading to long posts with many pictures that are not that easy to read. I have decided to go forward with a smaller weekly update with longer posts detailing individual projects once the projects are complete.
