Recently completed the chassis for this, it's currently undergoing running trials on my layout. It was a badly put together box of bits from 009 Society Sales. It has copyright 1983 on the back of the spectacle plate. I'm having trouble soldering up the body, anyone have recommendations for jigging it up?
I have replaced the open frame Mabuchi motor with a Mashima.

I'm trying to keep to the spirit of the original kit, but putting my own spin on it.
