The chassis is the Peco NR-121 10' wheelbase with steel solebar. To be accurate to prototype it should be 10'6", but we will not worry about 1mm difference. The underframe detail is excellent and closely resembles the LSWR arrangement of leaf springs, V hanger and brake levers.
Quickly assembled from 8 parts. Care to be taken with glueing down the coupler retainer to avoid gumming up the coupler. I assemble the parts and then wipe liquid glue around the join of retainer to chassis. It leeches between the retainer and chassis but keeps clear of the coupler. The only other care needed is to ensure the weight is fixed square to the chassis.
To Part 2.
