MWaz Get off your duff challenge

[twilight]

Today is the day that I had some spare time to make a little more advancement with the H-9 project. I am off from work today and I'm working around raindrops out in the yard. So while I had a little down pour outside to wait out. I decided to give the brake gear a shot. I purchased these off line for the H-9. I've used them once before and wasn't really crazy about how they applied to the project(glue wise). But I'm going to give them another shot.


I will have to remove the valve gear, cylinder chest and main rods to install these. Which is OK because with Bower kits, Bowser recommends you disassemble everything for painting after locomotive is proven to operate correctly.

Here's a before and after shot. After shot is with brake gear installed on firemen's side of locomotive.



Hopefully, will get to do the engineer's side later today.
