The pins are obviously way too long but I'll only cut them down once I've quartered the wheels and added the coupling rods, because if I cut them now it makes adding the retaining nuts more difficult.

Crank Pins
Before I can start reassembling the chassis I need to complete the wheels by fitting the crank pins. These are simply 14BA bolts slotted through the hole in the wheel.
I'd already prepared the holes (making sure they were wide enough and countersinking the hole so that the face of the screw head was flush with the rear of the wheel) so it was just a case of adding some Loctite 243 into the hole and then pushing the screws through and into place.
