Lutz, very good progress. Two remarks for better looking models.
You should replace the big srews at eccentric cranks (Gegenkurbel) by small headless screws.
And second - the trucks at passenger car will be the original Rivarossi trucks I think (including 33" wheels?). They are looking very cheap and less correctly! There you should try to get replacements also. As sample you can find three axle trucks made by Central Valley at Ebay from time to time. They were available in three or four different styles - no. 210-221 was a riveted frame truck especially for older passenger cars. What you must do is to replace the original wheelsets by newer and correct sized one.
Michael, a very good and helpful document also to me as a steam engine enthusiast!
