It rests on what was formerly the front spindle bosses. I am going to install some pins in the bosses and make matching holes in the top of the frame sides and then glue it down. Then some fake nuts and bolts. Almost all the frame parts are pinned as well as glued.

Thanks guys! Marty, so far I just made the lengths I need. I need to install it before the final treatment.

That is utterly disgusting! How can anybody so accurately miniaturize reality? -- Russ

Phew, i love those welding seams. Cast iron appearances is coming along nicely, too. I guess you sanded the square sloped washers for journal pedestals' fixture?
Cheers,

Thanks Russ!
Volker, I made a fixture to sandwich styrene strip between to different height brass strips. Then I scraped the styrene with an X-acto blade to create a taper. Then I cut each washer to length.

Great to see this coming together! Love the weld spatter. I know that the REAL loco would be painted (probably several layers thick) but a couple of those welds finished "raw" would be fantastic-- a repair or modification with scorched paint, soot, and rust around a shiny bead would really show off the accuracy of this technique... just a thought! Keep it up-- this is looking wonderful. DF
