Bashing A Brass USRA 0-8-0

[Schraddel]

The next attempt:







I drilled a lot of holes in a brass rod.
At first the bores were set too narrow. So i did it again. Then i inserted a couple of 0.5mm brass wires and made photos to see how it looks like.
In the prototype there are hex nuts and bolts. And the wire is round. Remember this 0-8-0 will be made for running on my layout. And will be painted black. I am questioning me, if one can see the tiny hex nuts when tho loco is on the layout.
And look to the middle photo. There the bolts on the upper part of the cylinder blocks were the smokebox is mounted are simply round devices.

Still thinking and :?: :?: :?:
