Wayne, thanks!
And no, this will be one of last steps before painting and finish detailing. It was a lot of work and I would not like to make a third start with these models. Thanks also for your riendly mail.
Matt, I said for a very long time that new wood cars were delivered from the car builder shop with an even frame balanced by the trussrods. I saw a first time by this Shorpy picture that new cars were delivered with frames which were bulging upward and in especially that all cars in absolute identical manner. I was very surprised about this fact and this is the second reason that I would like to build some cars of this type - new white reefers and all bulging upward. This should give a fantastic impression, I think.
Maybe that I will build one basic model only and thereafter I could make copies from resin where I must add some additional detail parts only so that I can receive a lot of absolute identic models on a fast way. However, please do not ask when this project will be begun.

It's neat to see "old" new cars not sagging but bulging upward because of rod tension. I didn't know they went that far in the process, just like modern flat bed trailer.
