Chassis built

 

The chassis is bent up easily enough, and the accuracy is such, that the tabs and slots on the long footplate section fit together perfectly. 

The bearings are spares from my stash, and two pairs of different styles, but they will work perfecly well. Oddly, one of each pair was a pig to solder in place. They turned black and had to be removed to be cleaned up again. The others went stright in perfectly. No idea why, but that's kitbuilding!

The bearings have been reamed out to provide free movement for the axles. A little more tidying up, and I'll be ready to fit some wheels.
