Don’t know why it posted twice. Only wrote it once

It's gone now!

Been a little busy today but the bogies and wheels are now at their final pre paint stage. They ain’t 5 spoke but they don’t look like cortina wheels any more so that will be how they will stay. Apart from the paint

Glad to see you are making progress. Mine has been slow - hand prepping the Mato drive sprockets to fit the Heng Long drive shafts.
