A photo of the trucks might help. I might put some brake rigging on. If you have larger photos you could Email them. Thanks
Railings were made by gluing leads from LEDs into holes drilled in the shell. Then 1/32" strips of aluminum can were glued on.
Another view of the railing.
A back was added the firebox, some wire and misc. detail parts so the cab wouldn't look empty.
To make the brakes I formed the shoes from copper wire and hangers from steel wire.
After the shoe was formed as shown in the photo it was soldered, filed to shape then formed to the contour of the wheel.
The shoe was installed on the hanger, then the end of the hanger was soldered.
