D&RGW L-96

[Schraddel]

Hello,

then going to reassemble the whole thing:

O.K.





But what is that?





Have a closer look from this angle.
The long running board looks like bent down at the rear and the short running board beneath the cab is out of angle.
So dissasembling the loco once more to research for the reasons. At least i found it and started to bent it right. A lenghty process with a lot of try and error, keep calm and bent only softly in small portions to reach your goal. 





At least i did it, the paint is scratched at some points more, but the running boards are straight now.
I added a footbridge made out of brass sheet with safety grid pattern. This is mounted easy moveable onto two hings left and right.









The windows were glassed and some closer looks onto the workplaces of engineer and fireman.

Then the engine was taken to the programming track. Even with the aid of JMRI Decoder Pro it took several hours to adjust the decoder in such a manner that the loco runs and sounds like a real one.
