I finished the car up to paint yesterday starting with the braking system.

It might have been easier to add the truss rods after the brakes since it all goes under the rods. While I was at it I added some scale kadee couplers and fitted the trucks.

I used tichy grab irons and stirrup steps. It's so much easier than bending your own. The Trucks are MDC/roundhouse arch-bars. Since the car won't be used in interchange service, I can get away with them.

the only thing missing is the brake wheel. I usually put that on afer painting since it's so easy to break it off.
