I've been threatening to build this for a while on NGRM and have been buying in as much parts as possible to make the build go easier. Anyway, I got the frames and footplate soldered up over the weekend and have attached two photos to show progress so far.

The wheels are Romfords from Markits and the hornblocks are from Light Railway Stores. The frames are from nickle silver and the footplate is in tinplate.

Did you consider using the new wheelsets from Mosskito with the square ends to the axles for simple quartering?
They are available with 6.2 and 8mm wheels.

Thanks Brian, the loco has 33 and 1/4" drivers so the Mosquito wheels would be too small. The Romfords were all that I could find, they're 11mm. I got some fly cranks from Jeff B. and he also sent me a quartering jig.
