" I am doing things,
in a bit different order than instructions."
Bahahahahaha !
Right ? !
Mikel
I'm loving your build,
just catching up finally.
Been a very busy couple of months.

Well I am playing hookie today.
Using the rain as an excuse
(got a fence to replace for a client)
but thought I'd show what I have got done.
I used some preformed grab irons I had for this side,
and since they kinda match prototype.
I formed the others by hand and I drilled locations
as close as I could to the plans and reference fotos.
Stirrup step is a casting.

This shot shows (sorry a bit dark)
back grabs and coupler lift bar and brackets begun.
You can see hand grabs and steps added,
and now on to air-line and coupler.

Here I added coupler and lift bar,
and some chain for the lift.
Can't see it very good (phone fotos)
Also chimney and flashing piece for it.
Interesting horn casting as well.

So here I bent some wire,
and pre-drilled fitting castings for the air-line,
adding weathering a bit at a time, as I go along.

A little different shot of air and coupler stuff in back.
Need some more paint/rust on these parts.
I love how photos show up things
that need more work on them.

A lot of fotos that are similar now.
But I wanted to show how it looks dusted and rusted,
and sort of in a real (!!) setting...
Hence the engine house.

All in all a challenging kit,
pretty well done and good info. included.
If I was to build it again,
I would rather do more board by board,
than the sheet of siding, which was a bit fraught.
I think newer versions have laser cut pieces.
I really want to build it again in a bigger scale.
Be great to do in F-scale
(I'd have to get details 3D-printed...kinda distinctive parts)
Always loved the little 02.
