I got the ladders and grabs and brake wheel installed on the B end. The brake details aren't exactly correct, but close enough.
Painted the interior and added the doors and styrene strip as the door guides.
Here is an overall shot with the body on the chassis. I think it turned out pretty good as for the additional details. But now it is time to match the paint and do all the touch-up and mild weathering.
And then I discovered why i don't like fragile detail parts, first, a photo of the ladders I used, and then the result of my fumbling fingers... boke the stirrup off.
So I replaced the stirrup with a metal one inserted into holes drilled in the body. Went ahead and cut the other plastic stirrup off too, and replaced it... might as well do it now... I would have eventually broken it off anyway.
