Up on the wheels

 

Time to flip the coach over and fit some running gear. 32mm gauge wheelsets are included in the kit - and nice heavy metal ones they are too. 

Brass bearings are provided, and these are fitted into holes in some somewhat square supports. The holes are a smidge larger than I would like, but a dollop of superglue fixes them well enough, and I left the parts alone overnight to dry so the bearing didn't drop to the top or bottom of the hole. 

After this, the supports are glued into place with wheelsets trapped between them. Sadly, the tabs fit very losely in the holes, so you have to leave the model upside down while the glue dries, or they simply fall out. 

I did this, then when the glue had grabbed, flipped the mode back over, and stood it on a mirror. One support needed to be shoved down half a millimetre to ensure all wheels touched the glass, but after that , all seems to be well. The supports might benefit from a little extra woo glued around them to beef up the joint, we'll see about this.
