Hi all, that is my first entry on that forum, I have been observing it for few years , but only gathered my courage now 😁. To the point anyway, I started building this prime mover some time ago, but only recently had some time to speed up scratch building. I will post some photos when I work out how to do it 😁

Posting images:
1. Find somewhere on the internet to store your photos.
Your user account at Kitmaker includes a gallery for photos but the storage area is limited so use it only for the most important photos. Imgur is a free and publically available photo-forum (I think you "pay" by allowing free usage of the photos) https://imgur.com/
2. Store your photo on the internet site you have chosen
3. Copy the link and paste it in your post. If you use imgur they provide all the links you might need with a Copy-button to make it simple. Use the BB-code link (click Copy and then paste it here)

Add one space character before the link. Click Reply&Quote on this post to see what it looks like.
4. Finished.

The actual link to the image is inside the []-brackets with the img and /img texts inside the brackets. These brackets tell the browser to display an image. If I typed the brackets here the result would be a broken image, looks like this:
When you get this icon you know that there is something wrong with the image link, could be a missing space before the image link or the link itself.
Google image storage can sometimes cause troubles.
Stay away from Photobucket ...

Excellent work on the transmission and transfer case!

I have been trying both the resin Verlinden and the new MiniArt plastic tank engines but have not resolved that issue as yet. I will be following your work here with great interest.

More photos please!

p.s. Also nice detail catch on adding those air tanks between the last two axles! Most folks don't notice they are back there.

Hi all, I hope everyone is safe and healthy and keep modelling .
Today I had little time to put primer on. I used One Shot from Ammo and I must say I am pleased with result. I managed to fix rockers ,from perforated to one piece. See you next time.
Wojciech.

Thanks Mike, for the kind words.I followed your Maz build, I took few ideas from there 😁. Today I was battling my resin wheels, had to clean them up a little bit and smooth them around the edges, they looked to "square" to me, if that make sense. Also I tackled the fifth wheel and the ramp behind it and the metal box. I post more photoswhen I can. Happy modeling everyone.
