Loco complete

I have done a little bit of work on the Fenor and have finally sorted otthe mounting and fixing of the chassis and body to the frame. The pictures below document the changes.

The electronic are in the loco and the changes to the body
mounting has given me more room.

The body is now fixed to the chassis using a screw through holes drilled in the
buffer beams at each end. The screw heads will be painted black.

Nuts have been super glued inside the body

The chassis is mounted with screws through from underneath into nuts
superglued to the frame.

These changes mean that the body can be removed without the chassis falling off and also it removes the need for the mounting brackets on the inside of the body. The two screw heads in the buffer beams are a drawback but they will be less noticeable with a coat of black.

Another advantage of this mounting system is that it makes the buffer beams more secure as the epoxy glue used to mount them has failed to hold firmly.

Now I just have to tidy the wiring, glaze the windows, add a driver and add some details and weathering.
