All new brass details are added, ...



... new hand brake staffs and brake wheels and brackets, retainer valve and pipe, uncoupling levers over whole car wide, removable air hoses - and I have done a lot of repairs on these very superficial soldered models.
Models have also received the new 5' archbar trucks from Tahoe Model Works. I think these are the best trucks, which you can get at the moment.



Also the brakes were reworked, so as a brake with hand brakes at both ends should be looking.
But some details have yet to be added. All outer corner irons are etched in the walls. I want to change and so I have to glue or to solder additional irons outward on the walls. And they must be fixed by bolts or rivets.
But can I solder onto the walls - in all cases under the grab irons? I think that I should use plastic strips and glue them on walls?
