I did some work this past week on my Arrow III Multiple Unit car #1308.
I've added all the grab irons and did some detail painting (It made a world of difference, even just the grabs made a model look more life-like). I've also restarted work on the Stemman Pantograph. I left off in a good spot, but now i have a plan for the base. I started making some of the base, and installed the stabilizer bar (keeps the pantograph from unfolding to far or in an awkward way).
As it stands, i just need to link all the base pieces together in a stable way, and add the springs/lock-downs, and it should be set to be installed on the model.
The only thing my Arrow III needs now is the lighting installed, and the step wells installed after them. Then it should be good to go.
I also did some work on my catenary project. I added a few wire steady spans and hangers.
