Fitting the wheels

Fitting the guards
Tip!
Turn the assembly over and locate the two
U-shaped cut-outs on the underframe.
Fit the wheel assembly from this stage into
the second cut-out. Remove the tape.
Position the wheels so that the
underframe rests in the groove of
the axle boxes.
If the wheels don’t
rotate smoothly,
then check the
inside edges of the
axle boxes for any
burrs. Remove any
found with a half-
round file.
Place the wheel assembly from
Stage 4 into the cut-out at the
front of the underframe.
Once both wheel sets are in position,
rotate them to check that the movement
is smooth. Be careful of the coupling rod.
Place an axle box guard onto
the underframe, aligning the
holes with those circled.
Tighten a 2 x 6mm
screw into the two holes
on the axle guard, securing it in
place. Repeat this process for the
remaining three guards.
Turn the assembly
back over and
tighten a screw
into the circled
holes on the leaf
springs to secure
them to the
ends of the long
parts of the
axle boxes.
