As I run some of my flatcars empty, I like<br />
to add some extra weight to help the car<br />
track better. If you also wish to weight<br />
your car, cut two 400mm lengths of sheet<br />
lead to fit between outer and inner centre<br />
sills. Lead can be cut with a sharp knife,<br />
similar to cutting styrene. Lead is approx.<br />
1.5mm thick.<br />
Using a glue gun is a quick way to fix<br />
down the lead to the underside of the<br />
deck.<br />
Cutout the needle beams from the<br />
template on sheet 2. If full brake rigging<br />
is to be modelled, it is advisable to locate<br />
and drill brake rod clearance holes, prior<br />
to installing the needle beams to the<br />
frame. Glue beams to frame and clamp.
