Grosvenor Kit etch test build: This page has some photos I took during recent test builds of the Grosvenor etches. Captions explain things.
Grosvenor chassis; with no flexichas cut-outs removed.
Below: Boiler added. Boiler former visible in place at fron of rolled boiler. Separate smokebox on l.h.s. - this separate unit has been deemed too complex and prone to skewing, and abandoned in favour of integral C class-style smokebox.
Large 6’ 9” splashers now fitted beside boiler and chassis alongside. Early smokebox is fitted, but was skewed, leading to the decision to abandon this style of fitting. The replacement arrangement is simpler, with wrapper simply soldering on to extended boiler, and frame modified to a support cradle. The messy solder will clear up simply!
