After a good time of modeling (and waiting for continuing) I have done last steps before finishing the Decker reefer.
All new door hardware (parts from Grandt Line) is installed after corrections of last color demages - removing old door hinges and latches. The very last step come now, doing by my friend Joerg - blackening the hardware, aging and weathering and mounting of couplers and air hoses. All!
Here again a picture of an other decorated model where I started the project. Nice Atlas reefers with an undefinable frame construction and a more toy-like hardware at doors. Good but not good enough! However last pictures will follow yet.
And all the cars got its own number! Atlas had delivered only models with two different numbers.
