A flurry of activity now the castings have arrived and the Ruston locomotive is looking very complete and very good.
All the whitemetal bits have been attached with C&L Magic 100 degree solder so they are good and solid. The chimney is a scrap bit of brass tube (it's a test build so I get a hole but no tube. In the kit you get the lot) which took 5 goes to get attached and upright.
A quick clean with the Hob Brite and a blast from the hair drier and I re-united body and chassis. With everything looking so good I couldn't resist taking a photo.
