Just ONE last question....How much pre-assembly should be done before painting, and what should be left for post-painting assembly..?? I'm particularly concerned with the handrails & posts. Of course, the frame/drivers will be painted separately.
BTW...The tender shown was picked off eBay, and will be painted and lettered for the LC&P. I decided to use a short tender instead of the kit's long-haul one. There aren't any "long hauls" on my RR....
