Scratchbashing an HOn3 Reefer

[cnrglen]

After almost two years I restarted the HOn3 hopper project this week.




I replaced all the cast on grabs and horizontal bracing with wire grabs and brass wire.



I found that the side grabs were the same width as Tichy grabs, but the end grabs were the same width as Detail Associates Diesel Drop grabs.





I also installed the couplers and brake gear on the frame. The couplers can be a real pain, trying to keep all the parts together while gluing the coupler box lid in place.
