A second start for my "White Swan" reefers
#21
First all cars are lowered - and they look good!

Next step - roof design, wooden roof sheathing is added already to all models. I must say that I must 'design' the roof because there no pictures or drawings are available.
First check ...

... with an aged and weathered roofwalk on a "new" roof sheathing - and two different ice hatches from Tichy parts in foreground and a simple part of old plastic kits. But I think that an so aged roofwalk and a good looking sheathing on roof including car sides can not be the solution.
Second attempt - all like new ...

... a roofwalk from "fresh planed" planks (Kappler wood strips) together with two ice hatches at each end mounted on platforms should be a very acceptable solution for thes cars. What do you think?
Of course all typical parts for roofwalk must be added, end supports, nails for fixing the planks or corner grab irons and a few more things etc. More pictures will follow again.
Cheers, Bernd
