Gondolas of Lake Terminal RR.

Lutz, thank you very much - and I hope that you will find back your speech.



New parts ...



... and truss rods no. 9 to 12 are added.
Please look on older pictures if you should find only 8 truss rods on underside. Truss rods no. 1 to 4 are mounted since a longer time to the models and they are going from underside of side sills over the center of side boards and back. It's correct however these four first truss rods are not fixed to end sills or end boards and they are not guided by queen post in contrast to all others.



However look here how these new four truss rods are fixed to the high position of end wall planks. I think that they should give an extra factor for stability to the car against a drooping center.
The white cut-outs are preparations for next steps. After installing of these truss rods now I can add the last twelve stakes and stake pockets to side walls including a few NBWs too – and than the last four truss rods can follow.
The end is near - for the first of five models!
