The picture can be enlarged greatly which affords a nice view of some of the underframe of GN 66203. Not terribly exciting but may be informative.

Twisted wire was a common tie down. It did not have to be saved or returned, factories had lots of it around, and no special tools were needed. Doug Harding Youtube: Douglas Harding Iowa Central Railroad

Is there a source for the twist ties in HO, I seem.to remember a supplier who had this item in their line along with a treasure trove of similar detail items. Regretfully the name escapes me.

I believe Clover House offers twisted wire or cable.
Cloverhouse.com There have been several other companies as well, look at ads in the Narrow Gauge Gazette Check Hobby Lobby for bead stringing wire, it is very fine. Or check the sewing department for heavier thread, carpet thread for example. Or find some 32-gauge stranded wire and strip the insulation. IE left overs from decoder installs would work.
