Hello,
next duty was brake rigging:
Fortunately i had saved the step by step instructions written by Ted Culotta: http://steamerafreightcars.com/modeling/...smain.html
Just the same K-Brake parts of Red Caboose were included within the kits.
The lower bearings for the brake wheel spindle were surplus from Tichy kits. Styrene is not so brittle as this notorious resin. For additional strength it was pinned with an piece of brass wire.
Doing the chain link.
Mounting some components.
Finished with underbody brake details.
