I am building one of these locos and have just got to the point of fitting the outer frames onto buffer beams/inner frames. I have found that the maximum possible vertical movement of the inner axleboxes is greater than the outer ones by about 3/16". Have any other builders come across the same problem, all has been made to the official Model Engineer Drawings dated1970. Any advice would be appreciated. Dave 0
