What I have not shown yet is how I build the bolsters. They cannot be seen when the car is on the rails, so their design is rather simple. Keeping them simple also helps to get them made perfect... and this is mandatory. Any flub on the bolsters will make the car leaning or wobbling later when put into service.
The brake parts arrived here somewhen back. I went back at the workbench just to realize that I have also run out of ladders. I hate it being so much unorganized. Since I am not in the mood to order those parts and wait for them to arrive, I sat down and tried to make my own ladders. This is the best I came up with. Unmagnified, the ladders do not look that bad - so this is a go!
