Kato N tram chassis...

To power the 009 inspection saloon is a Kato tram chassis, which required a little getting to get it to fit, cutting the front and rear buffer beams off it, and some material removed from the cut outs on the brass underframe.

You'll also notice a new radiator grill (a scrap Shawplan Class 37 nose grill etch) and filler panel on the side (another part from the same Shawplan etch). Now the chassis fitted work can commence on chassis detailing, along with door handles, roof and other body finishing touches...
