Coupler lift bars and railings were made from .015' steel wire from garbage bag twisty ties. I stripped off the plastic coating and heated the wire over the gas stove, then quenched them in water to harden them.
Sand hatches and a ladder were added.
The water hatch was thinned and lowered.
The flange for the stack was thinned and a new number board was made
I took some photos of the lights I'm building. The light housings were turned on the lathe . the mid sections were milled from 1/16" brass strap and the lower brackets were fabricated from .010" brass sheet with embossed rivet detail.
