Once painted the floor was fitted to the chassis. To do this the rear edge had to be flush with the rear buffer beam and the hole in the frame spacer had to be visible through the hole above the etched ROUNDHOUSE logo.
The additional two boiler bands were loosely fitted on either side of the sandbox until the boiler was refitted and the cab positioned.
The boiler was refitted and the temporary floor spacer, fitted earlier, was removed.
The gas tank and burner were replaced and the pipes reconnected.
The reversing lever was fitted to enable manual operation until the radio control is fitted.
The lubricator was refitted and positioned centrally above the cab step, with the drain screw slightly overhanging the cab floor.
Next stage, the preparation and painting of the cab.
