Paul_L's 6 wheel Full Brake Coach build

Fitted the second footboard, then opened up the holes in the sole bar to approx 1mm to take the lower footboard wires.

Now on to the lower footboards

These were cut out and bent to shape

Jim suggests making up a jig with two strips of wood approx 2 inches apart

They were then cut in half

Next up these were put in to the bending bars

Bent through 90 degrees and soldered up while still in the jig

Tried out in the coach and aligned with the holes in the solde bar.

These will need to be trimmed to length, but I will do that a little later, as nee to go off script and build up the compensation units ..... where did I put them away safely

Back later

found them

Just need to read the instructions

The compensation units look fairly straight forward, but to check my coach is square my 2 inch square isn't big enough, so I've just ordered up a 6 inch square as I need to check up the center lines of each axle line up.

So that's my excuse for doing nowt
