Loco Body etched part numbers are prefixed with the sheet number ie (1- or 2 -) followed by part no. eg (1- 002) Cast parts are prefixed with pack number eg Pkt 1/002
Locate the under-cab section of the chassis parts from the
CHASSIS etch sheet 1 111, 112,135, 137, 126 and 172.
Solder 2 off 10BA nuts to the etched pockets in 126.
Ensure threads remain free from solder.
Fold up the flange on 126 at 90 degs.
Assemble 126 to the chassis sides 135 and 137. Twist
tabs to retain.
IMPORTANT Rebated side to be assembled on the
inside as shown
Locate also parts from the BODY etch sheet 2 172, 2-
067x2,2-069x2, 2-066 and 2-071.
Assemble 172 to 126 etc and loosely twist tabs only
marked ‘X’ Ensure 172 is oriented as shown below.
Assemble the chassis side overlays 111 and 112 together
with the above body parts. Ensure registered with
underlying part. Twist tabs lightly to retain and solder.
Ensure that 172 remain straight across the back and is not
deflected by the body parts 2-069 and 2-067.
Remove tabs for 2-069 and 2-067 ONLY. Maintain back
face of 172 flat and smooth to accept a mating part later.
Test assemble to the chassis.

Locate from the BODY etch Part 1 1-058x2
and from Body etch sheet 2 2-070and 2-
087. Assemble to the underside of the cab
body as shown, parts 1-058x2 first. Note
orientation of 2/070 - this fork here
Twist tabs on the inside of the cab to retain.
Ensure all parts are tight to the underside of
the body before soldering. Remove excess
tabs and solder from the inside. Handling
needs to be watched from now on until the
floor is in place to prevent damage to the
projecting parts 1-058.
Locate Flange 2-065. Form and carefully fit to
the under body parts 1-058 and 2-070 just
fitted. Note the orientation. Ensure the part
assembles snugly and sits flat. Solder in

For those fortunate enough to own a Resistance Soldering Unit and using paste solders this will be
easy. For the rest of us the best way is to flux liberally and feed solder to the joint where the blades
project through. Move the iron tip along the surface and the solder will chase the heat source following
along the underside side joint line. Keep repeating the process until complete.
2-065 Fits grooved side to face
edges of 2-070 and 1-058x2
There will be some solder
to clean off from the top
surface but should be a
minimum provided that you
don’t over feed.

Ensure both 1-022 & 2-087 are tight under the cab footplate
before twisting to retain. Solder all parts.
Locate the detail overlays 2-068 these are assembled with
another part, see following page for instructions.
Remove excess tabs and solder. Solder or glue buffing pads
1-021 x2. Chamfer all edges of 1-021 prior to fitting. Ensure
registered over the pad site.

To protect the floor supports from any potential
handling damage assemble the floor overlay
next.
Locate the cab floor overlay BODY Sheet 2 2-
063.
Ensure the floor space inside the cab is clear of
excess tabs and solder such that the floor overlay
will lay flat. The only 2 tabs not accessible ti file
flat are the pair directly behind the cab rear wall
in either corner. The cut-outs in the floor
accommodate these. Make sure the floor
supports projecting from the rear have not
become deformed.
Assemble the floor overlay left side leading as
shown, access through the roof.
Ensure the floor overlay will lie flat but DO-NOT
solder yet
Locate the cab seat bases 2-089 and 2-090. Fold
at 90 degs and assemble to the cab interior.
Twist tabs to retain.
Locate 2-079 and 2-078, fold to shape.
Assemble to the cab LHS wall as shown
below. 2-079 is best assembled first.
Twist tabs to retain and solder. Remove
excess tabs and solder.
Locate the cab seat bases 2-089 and 2-090. Fold at 90
degs and assemble to the cab interior. Twist tabs to
retain. (Floor tab first, back tab and then side tab). Solder
all parts. Ensure cab floor is seated to the REAR of the
cab as far is possible leaving a gap behind the outside
rear wall. Remove excess tabs and solder.
