Scratchbashing an HOn3 Reefer

[cnrglen]

Last night I finished the car up to it's date with the paint shop:

I slipped a set of grandt Line HOn3 trucks under it as well as the couplers to check it's height with the gauge. Pretty close with one snag that I'll bring up later.

I added the corner grabs on the roofwalk corners that have ladder grabs going to them.

I also added the handbrake and air retainer valve parts, and the roofwalk supports to the ends.

Now the small snag. The brake beams on the trucks interfere with the coupler boxes. It makes the trucks go tippy-toe if you see the first photo. I can't trim the boxes down so I might have to cut the brake beams off the trucks. They probably wouldn't be noticed anyhow.
