Less than impressive Warwell kit.

I've built quite a few NGS kits and it's fair to say that some go together a lot better than others. The only one to defeat me so far is the GW Loriot, whose axles appear too long to fit within the chassis frames.

Hi Longbow,

The Loriot kit will go together with the supplied wheelsets.

However quite  often modellers put the solebars on misaligned.

This is easy to do because of the lack of a positive positioning tab and slot.

The mouldings have angles built in and they are the only thing that shows where they join.
The correct position for the join is when the top of the angle on the solebar is aligned to the top of the angle on the wagon floor.

I'll dig one out and put a photo later up to show this.

Thanks
