Addendum to the comment in the former photo: thanks to a comment from Michael Walker (see photo "a"), I realized that the front wheel is not supposed to be steered, but to turn around losely, like in the supermarket cars. Considering that the #37 bolt originally was longer (roughly 5/16" thread), then the bush wheel has just the function of a collar.

It is indeed a wise approach to begin with the smaller, less complex models, as building strategies used in those are often re-used in the larger constructions. Many years of fascinating model making lie ahead, as you continue your journey of discovery. |

Hi, Michael! |

Details such as this show that even very early, simple models can be intriguing subjects for research. It must be very satisfying to be able to build the model correctly, despite the lack of instructions guidance. |
