The chassis was loaded up to near final weight (about 1.4kg) so it would sit correctly on the CSB suspension. I had a lot of problems with the pony trucks but a revision of the springing eventually sorted that out. It is being tested with DC and is now running very sweetly. I am considering what DCC chip to use in the completed build - it will be sound of course.
It derailed rather too often on one curve but a continuous check rail seems to to have solved that. I am now working on completing the hidden track and the loading dock loop.
