The tin was mounted on the frame using the truck screws (extra-long 2-56 from my stock). The railings and brake wheel were added.
The catwalk and hatch were Gooed on as well. I ended up painting the ends with Floquil over a couple of coats of PollyScale and an unusable coat of Badger.
I started to add decals but the film broke so I stopped. Most of the dates were out of date and the other descriptions were inappropriate.

I'm afraid that it will have to go on the On30 layout -- if we ever build that.
