The pickle car project is near to finish! Good things need a time however they will take a good end!

Models were sent to my friend for painting - and short after a few of the queenposts broke. They have been made from a hard whitemetal (we say printer metal - a terne metal with a high part antimony) and so I must replace them, all. At a complete detailed model with trussrods and a complete brake gear! And, in addition, the available queenposts were still too short. So I soldered the queenposts on foot plates and I have get the correct height. All in all a really complicated repair however with a good result.

Yesterday I received a first picture of the first painted model. I think that that is a really fine work!
