That too is impressive.
I assembled the chassis tonight

I found that it does have a bind in the drivers. I suspect that the axles need polishing to remove residue that's causing it. I also had to file the yoke a bit. It was pulling on the guide rods on one side, causing them to pinch the crosshead.

I did polish the wheels, just in case this engine will be powered one day. I'm also working on mounting the cab to the boiler.
