Hello,

as the shell of the loco is square now, let's re-attach the details:

I made a new tube out of 0.8mm brass wire for the compressor as the old one was too short.
Further:
- The governor was carefully drilled out for the new diameter and fitted.
- The generator was freed from the sprue and remounted. (They pinched the sprue only coarse and did not neaten the cut)
- starter valve reattached
- Injector and feedwater tubes soldered, this time straight and angular

- starter valve on engineer's side remounted; here it is still askew and has to be squared out
- New tubes under the running board made out of 0.5mm brass wire (the old ones were worn out)
- remounting of the injector here too

A look into the hollow nothing.

At least the question for an replacement motor.
- The black can motor is a China made coreless coil motor
- The silver one is also China made and of the hyped square type of automotive origin.
