Romanian Krauss in 009: front of the chassis...

The front of the Roco BR80 chassis is the right proportion but too small to represent the forward protruding frame of the prototype. I have used 30thou plasticard to increase the size of this section and also fill in the section under the smokebox door.

I also have begun to add some detail to it - the prototype has some quite prominent rivet detail here so I'll need to look at options for adding that, but for starters I have added the rail deflector. 

More soon...
