I've done some brass work like that, but the previous model was styrene and has held up ok. It's just tricky to do the assembly work before it's all done. It should stiffen up as I get the rest of the upper works done.<br /><br />Yes, I'm planning to do the load for the car, that will probably be in Part 3 or 4.NightOwlModelerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09904500011869442181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6278730957471097012.post-41521490685397826902021-09-15T00:01:42.121-07:002021-09-15T00:01:42.121-07:00Hi Jason,
I'm following your build of the rack...Hi Jason,<br />I'm following your build of the rack car. It's an amazing amount of crossbraces to do with only .060" channels. How about using brass shapes? Would probably make the rack more rigid. Also if you plan to put a load of rails in the rack. Just my 2 cents.<br />Keep up the great work. Although I'm a Santa Fe modeler, with a layout based on the Surf Line (LA to San Diego), I plan on building an SP work train based on your great blog posts.<br />Regards<br />Alain Kap, MMR<br />Saarburg, Germany Alain Kaphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06075703526554791495noreply@blogger.com
