Completed brake assembly installed on the Bachmann truck, using the original securing screws.
Modifying Bachmann truck bolster Using a razor saw, remove the coupler bracket from the truck bolster. I cut three lengths of telescoping styrene tubing approximately 10mm long and cemented them into the existing bolster pivot hole. The standard truck mounts onto a cast on mounting post on the Bachmann freight car. The styrene spacer tubes reduce the diameter of the existing hole so as a 4-40 bolt can be used to secure the truck to the flatcar frame. Under car brake rigging “Why add detail that for most of the time you will never be able to see it?” For instance, installing doors and windows on to the back wall of a scratch-built building that faces the backdrop of an indoor layout. I have done it, but I would have rather spent that time and resources adding more detail to areas that could be normally viewed. When scratch-building or kit bashing rolling stock in smaller scales other than Large-scale, under car details are seldom modelled due to the fact that they can only be seen when the car is physically picked up and turned over. In modelling large-scale (Fn3), I have found that the circumstances are different, these models are substantially larger, and so more detail is visible. This is one of the reasons many of us have moved through the smaller scales and decided to build large-scale models so that we can add all those great looking details that are missed on something like HOn3.
