Amalynn Rolling Stock Kitbuild Challenge ‘24

[Amalynn]

Made more progress this home time:


Here the brake gear is installed


Stirrups are added


The grab iron on the stirrup added


The styrene sill extension is added


Grab irons on the end sill are added


Roughly painted the flatcar frame


Rough painting on the decking


Glued the decking to the frame


Vent added to the tank car dome


Handrails added to the end of the tank


And finally the tank drain pipe added

And the next steps are painting and decaling. I said my goal for the project was to get to this point so I am happy to have made it here. I understand if not 100% completing the kit means I fell short of the challenge parameters, but I am satisfied with this. Learned a lot of lessons in it all, too. I’m quite proud of the final product.
