I have installed the major components (air reservoir, control valve and
brake cylinder) on 4 Great Northern double sheathed boxcars and one of the
plywood sided boxcars that followed them and started installing their connecting
wires. The brown brake components include wonderful bases for the
placement of these components. Does any know who the manufacturer
is? I need to order more sets.
In between the wire work, I have started installing the side grab irons on
the new Yarmouth Model Works Northern Pacific trussrod boxcars. I am using
the Westerfield 20” grab irons for the car sides. When the
attention span wanders, there are the 5 Milwaukee single sheathed bodies to work
on, the next phase of which will be to add the roof walks.
Don, the Rocket Express kits are very good and I ordered more so that I
have my 4 car set.
