SP #3000 - start for a Daylight train

[modelsof1900]

Now a few additional details were to mount.
The prototypes were quite flatly looking engines without many of tubes on the outside of boiler - and thus the models were also built. But some parts are lacking after today's opinions of model building. Remember, model is nearly forty years old. But I was not lucky with all these missing parts.



Additions at front:
A completed uncoupling lever, tubes for electric power of classification lights and front lamp and a working front coupler.



A detail view shows how I fastened the coupler into the original coupler guide.



Rear side of loco - and not a tender bridge? (Apron?)

No, not longer without this part!



Here the details with a long thin tube and a mount plate for avoiding damages of paint by soldering.





Two pictures how the wheels follow very uneven rails. I think that this is not a big problem for full equalized trucks however it's a very good solution for the engine drivers, which are well equalized by soft coil springs.

I love such very well running models!
