Loco Body etched part numbers are prefixed with the sheet number ie (1- or 2 -) followed by part no. eg (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
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.
Maintain this face straight

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
place.
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.
There will be some solder
to clean off from the top
surface but should be a
135
minimum provided that you
don't over feed.
DO-NOT remove these four
tabs whilst cleaning up
