Van Hobbies brass CNR N-5-d 2-8-0 rebuild/ Finished pics add

The frame was then removed from its lacquer thinner bath and rinsed off. Once agin I found some parts had been glued.A couple of the leaf springs were at the bottom of the jar and the brass plate between the front of the frame sides that the pilot mounts to was unsoldered on one side.

These were for the most part easy repairs. All the soldering was done with my homemade resistance solder unit. It made quick work of all the solder joints. I will post a few pictures of the soldering unit tomorrow and give a description of how it was made.

Below are some pictures of the repaired frame. The first one shows it right after paint removal and the rest are after it was repaired.
