My first P2K kit
#5
Ok, it sounds like I should start off with installing the plastic grabs and then decide which way to proceed.

Thanks for the tip on the holes being too small. I'll use my pin vice. I've only built one kit with plastic grab irons before, but I don't remember it at all (9-10yrs ago). If I decide to replace them with brass grabs, I'll use jigs to bend them (that is my standard practice for On3 cars).

It seems backwards to me to assemble the rest before the grabs, but I have no recent experience involving styrene grabs, I will follow your advice! Best to learn from your mistakes than to make them my own!

4hrs?! I was expecting something along the lines of 30min-1hr! I might not work it into the construction list as soon as I was planning.

thanks!
Michael
My primary goal is a large Oahu Railway layout in On3
My secondary interests are modeling the Denver, South Park, & Pacific in On3 and NKP in HO
