Peter:
I have the Morris / 2-pdr pix -- the 2-pdr was mounted "backwards" from mine. I have to now suspect that the "wingspan" on the Sovereign 2-pdr is too big & that is contributing to the problem -- I shall have to research that. I cannot go past normal body width as none of my pix suggest that was done.
As to the engine, I'm still working on that.
Thanks for the leads !!!
I'm gonna be gone for a few days & not much will happen, so here is progress as of today. Black/green are IT CGT or 15cwt parts, tan are TA FAT parts, and white is primer or Evergreen; any shiny stuff is probably Eduard PE for FAT or CGT.
Here is a further pic of the frame, with more parts added. I still have a few pieces to go. You'll note further mods from my last pix & the addition of engine mounts from the FAT. Note also the aux springs on the rear (I did these from scrap pile before I realized the CGT kit had 'em!).
The next pic shows the TA FAT cab floor, the IT 15cwt cab floor, & some pieces. A few whacks & hacks later is the next pic which shows the cut-down FAT floor merged with some 15cwt parts & some Eduard PE I'm chopping up for a floor. This plus the engine are all just sitting there, not glued down yet.
I'm having fun with this ....
