Working with no instructions, and relying on his practicality, Himself has worked out how to assemble one of the cross heads and fashioned a piston from brass wire, and it bends in all the right places.
He still has to decide which of the slide bars to use.
This was the point where another problem with the kit was revealed - there was no rear cylinder cover in which to insert the non-existent piston.
However, some rooting around in old Backwoods kit boxes revealed some spare Fairlie cylinder covers, and would you believe they are a perfect fit for a 3mm scale 42XX!
