Combine waiting for window glazing

Underside showing unpainted shame. The truck mount had to be moved slightly because the truck was hitting the steps.

The combine is looking good.

Brass shelf and speaker in place

DCC decoder and keepalive placed on the shelf.

Work on the T motor progresses slowly.
