righthand) preparing as follows:
52.2) Add a vertical handrail to the edge of the partition lower wall as shown above using 0.9mm
brass wire to all 10 half partitions.
52.3) Fold the bottom of each partition 90 o in
opposite directions, again this will produce a partition
that will stand upright. See photo: Seats2 (Cl. 108
model)
52.4) Take 10 E5, fold 90 o and fix (solder/glue) into
the half-etch pads in the partitions walls so that the
folded projection forms a slot with the fold in the
bottom.
53) Cut four pieces of 1mm (40 thou) styrene
18mm wide to fit between the body sides immediately
above the moulded rib (they should be about 58mm,
but cut longer and trim back). Fix inside the body on top of the moulded rib and aligned centrally with
the passenger doors - reinforce as necessary. These will be used to mount the partitions in place.
These internal stretchers can also be used to support to the underfloor (which can sag under the
weight of the metal castings) by drilling through the fuel tank, floor and stretcher and securing together
with a screw. However, if used as the primary method of securing the floor (as in our demo units) the
stretchers will need beefing up either by laminating two pieces together, or by replacing the 1mm
styrene with 1.6mm (at least). The benefit of doing this is that the floor mountings are now not easily
visible through the windows. See photo: mid body strengthener and cab walls (Cl. 129 model) for this
additional (much wider) support as used on the Cravens Class 129.
54) Cut a piece of 1mm (40 thou) styrene 15mm wide to fit between the molded rib on the body
sides. Add two small tabs to the top to support the false floors and fix to the body sides and the against
the rear molding with the tabs upper-most. See photo: Rear support tabs (Cl. 108 model).
55) (DMBS) The final partition is created from the moulded ABS divider. This will need trimming
as necessary to fit immediately behind the last passenger door. Once prepared this partition can be
permanently glued into position against the relevant body stretcher.
That just about covers the body at this stage.
UNDERFRAME DETAILS
Both underframes are the same, so only one description is given
56.1) Temporarily place the underframe into the body and mark the solebars to show where the
doors are (both right and left hand edges of the openings) - remove floor.
Working with the front pointing to the right and with the underframe upside-down the
solebar nearest to you is the driver’s side. See photo: Drivers side and Second Man
side and the diagrams DMBS/DMCL UNDERFRAME DETAILS LAYOUT at the end
of these instructions. You will probably find it easier to first create sub-
assemblies of parts before fitting the parts to the underfloor
56.2) Assemble the two diesel engines C32 by attaching C11 as shown
right. Also attach the oil filler pipe C13.
