4&1/8 Inch converts to 105mm, if?? your crawler has a base of 85mm, should not be a problem. Hope it works out.

With a few key-strokes on the ol' vintage Rockwell...
...some finely gridded graph-paper...
...& a can of spray-glue
BINGO !
Had ourself a niffty new steel-underframe making jig !
The previous underframe jig, made for the Gilpin Tram caboose model, worked really well.
This one had a slight 'upgrade', with the fine pitched graph-paper, glued to the thick mounting board.
Much easier to mark out & cut the holes for the Plastruct beams to fit into.
Later cross pieces will be easier to locate as well.
Needs a NEW knife blade, for best results.

Am I alone in finding the ongoing Chronicles of the MMMM are not the riveting read they once were.

Hello John and Si,
So MMM is now a seamless read, rather than theme less ??
Cheers, Michael

Damn nice weathering job you did on the riveting kit. Care to tell us how you did it Was it salt or maybe pepper?

Woodie - I think it is the special weathering process known as "found at the back of an old shed, why not put it on Fleabay".
Si : to answer your question, I have searched through my workshop drawers as far as I am currently physically able, but I cannot find my brake shoe box. I remember the suppliers address was Harrow UK but I cannot find any such on t'internet. Maybe the old Harrow Model Shop (RIP) ?
I intended checking the dimensions of an O gauge shoe but all my O wagons & stuff are packed away in crates currently out of reach as I am in U.S. On30 this year (supposedly).
From a quick IT search I cannot find any mfg's of solid, not fold up etch, wagon brake shoes; really bad news.
Roll on the big night !
Michael
