Project Vulcan Part 3

After some time away from this project, a start has been made on the engine unit chassis.

The only adjustments have been the axle openings so that the horn blocks fit snugly. The drawbar for the tender has been fitted so the photos show them paired together. For those wondering what the wire between the wheels is, this is what the brake beams and brake blocks will be attached to and will be trimmed once they are fitted. Still to be fitted are the cylinders, pony truck and various other details then I can work on installing the motor:
