Now to start the new running boards. I first took an old running board from an Athern boxcar, cut it into 4 sections and filed it down to a more prototypical thickness.
I than cut some styrene spacers and glued them to the underside of the walk ways. This will give the walk ways a little "air" underneath them.
They were glued into place in the same location as the old ones , but this is a big improvement over the originals.
