Learning the capabilities of this little digital camera. Found the Super-Macro focus function. So ... here are a couple more photos following the conversion of a few toys to the status of detailed scale models.
The voids in the end platforms, left by cammed slides in the mold to facilitate molding the area of the long-shank "horn-hook" coupler, have been plugged with pieces of Evergreen styrene strip stock and the platform railing holes plugged with Evergreen rod stock.

And of course, the mammoth-flanged, AHM toy train wheelsets had to go. Kadee 36" ribbed-back wheelsets replace the stock wheelsets.
