Hello,
to get this thread written further, here the building of this kit.
Starting with the underframe. For the truss and brake rods i used 0.3mm bronze wire.
The body is only loose fitted. Unfortunate cracks developed beneath the door openings.
A real challenge are these tiny hardware fittings. The door should be moveable.
And the dozens of grab irons not to forget.
At least the box car sits onto it's trucks and the doors are still moveable
