Rebuilding and digitalizing a brass gasoline rail coach

Gus, thank you very much for your honouring comment.

Sorry, however I would like to answer to your mean that the model should be part of a showcase.
Showcases should contain fine and rare items; that is right. However if items will have technical functions as it do all our railroad models than I think our models should run on a good detailed layout showing these items in an area close to the original.
Look for fine detailed steam loco models. Seeing their fine mechanic like side roads and gearing. Looking it in a showcase will be impressed. However seeing them in move the impressions will be much time greater. However I know also that the minimum speed must be small enough for seeing all these details in movement. However that is now the result of digitalizing, loco models can move very slowly – and than hear the shuff, shuff of a steam loco! However also here - it must be done very well for highest satisfaction in model building.
