In this loco the smoke box fixing bolts pass through the frames and screw into the cylinder castings, similarly just below these the Bogie stretcher is botted through the frames and into the cylinder castings. I can loosly assemble with a few screws using a screw driver but have no idea how the get all the bolts in position let along tighten them up.

If any one has built a Don Young County and can explain how to assemble the front end I would be very pleased to hear from them. Regards Robert Hobbs
