Modeling a ATSF Bx-11 rod braces


Bill Welch
 

I am working on two Westy Classics, ATST Bx-11 and Bx-12 with raised roof. The 1955 photo I have of a Bx-11 shows the corner rods still in place. I wanted these to have relief or stand away for the side so I used SS tubing, .012 wire held on with the very small Yarmouth PE eyebolts. They eyebolts are small enough they can barely be seen and will disappear when the model is painted. I like the effect. Thanks to my friend Peter Aue for the very small eyebolts
