Today's job was to build the fireman's tools and add the whistle cord. The cord is just a simple piece of string glued to the roof of the cab with CA. It can be seen here next to the engineer's head.
I can't say the same for the tools.
I made them from some thin brass sheet stock and some .016 brass wire. I wrapped the end of the wire around a pin and soldered the loop closed to form the handle. The one on top is ready for paint, the rake end is brass sheet cut to shape and soldered in place.
