Caley Coaches CL02/2a Building Instructions the kit with a compensated chassis. If you are not, please return the compensation pack to me with a note of your name and address and I'll be happy to forward the required bearings and modified instructions to enable you to build rigid chassis. - Page 3 Caley Coaches CL02/2a Building Instructions Solder the drag beam (part 4) below the rear end of the footplate and to the valances. Solder a nut to the top of the footplate at each of the chassis mounting points. Section 3 Coupling Rods The coupling rods are made from steel for maximum authenticity but they require very careful cleaning after assembly as any trace of flux (or indeed water) left on them is bound to cause...
- Page 4 Caley Coaches CL02/2a Building Instructions bearing that is able to slide back and forth in its block is not conducive to good running. It is a good idea to pair bearings and hornblocks as small manufacturing differences can be present in either.
- Page 5 Caley Coaches CL02/2a Building Instructions Fix the motor onto the gearbox and locate the assembly in place in the chassis on the rear axle. Don’t forget to mount the gearwheel on the axle but leave the grub screw untightened so that the axle can revolve freely.

- Page 8 Caley Coaches CL02/2a Building Instructions Section 7 Boiler and smokebox No cut-out for the motor and gears is provided in the boiler wrapper or the brass boiler tube since the size of cut-out required will be dependent on your motorising arrangement. To determine the size of cut-out required, temporarily mate the footplate and cab assembly with the chassis and measure the distance over the motor from the cab front.
- Page 9 Caley Coaches CL02/2a Building Instructions solder up the seam of the boiler wrapper. Tin the inside of the inner smokebox wrapper and the front section of the boiler. Place the wrapper round the boiler and seam solder the two together at the front and rear. Take care to use a dry iron but plenty of flux at the rear so that you avoid getting solder on the boiler as much as is...
- Page 10 Caley Coaches CL02/2a Building Instructions 7.16 Solder the chimney, dome and safety valve of your choice in place together with the whistle. 7.17 Finally, drill two holes in the smokebox front as indicated and fit the cylinder lubricators of your choice using your photograph as a guide.
- Page 11 Caley Coaches CL02/2a Building Instructions frames in place. Fold up the rear lower steps (part 28) and the rear upper steps (part 29) such that the half etched portion forms one leg of an “L” (half etch to inside of the fold as usual). Solder the lower steps to the lower edge of the rear step supports (etched integrally with the footplate valance) and the upper ones as shown below.
