Hello,
next step:
Adding a lot of black wires; the left one is the D&RGW L-96. Right there is another 2-8-8-2 for a customer.
Those cable retainers will pay off when there are more than 2 wires.
Both artics got new universals made out of this very useful A-Line parts. They are intended for Diesel locos, but why not use them here too?
The missing link for the power reverser to the front engine was retrofitted.
And then i detected, that the cab was removeable. There were no screws, by removing the handrails and pull back the cab it slides out.
Fixing of loose small parts by soldering. The large steam pipe on one side was loose at one of it's ends. Here resoldering was only possible with a torch and this would ruin the paint. So i drilled 1,2mm holes through pipe and boiler jacket and press fit a length of 1.2mm stud to connect both.
Then the electrics for the rear part of the engine was completed.
What was left over at the end of a days work.
And don't forget to put all parts into the particular box (remember there a two 2-8-8-2's on which i work simultaneously)
