Nice idea! What brand of .008 brass wire did you use? I didn't even know it was possible to do that. Those look great! I can think of a number of uses for flattened brass wire of that size. :-) Tim O'Connor

Seems I get more modeling done in hotel rooms than at home. One of the easiest projects on the road is adding small details, with a few parts and minimal tools. The new door handles on this BLI NYC boxcar are a perfect example, with the molded handles replaced with flattened .008 brass rod. It's a trifle "fiddley" as the flattened brass is quite delicate, but it makes for a lovely detail. I did not use phosphor bronze as the harder wire was more resistant to being "squashed." --
