~ Rolling Stock ~

~ Log Car 04 ~

Model Specifications:
Kit: Kadee Truss Log Car with Logs #103. Mostly white metal parts. Plastic logs

Couplers: Kadee #115 Couplers.
Body Color: Floquil Oxide Red
Weathered: Powders, Ground dirt, Woodland Scenics foam

This car took quite a while to prep the white metal parts. The couplers that came with the kit would not fit the coupler pockets. I called Kadee, they ship #115 couplers with the kit now. I ordered a pack, 115's fit first try.
The underbody brake components although very detailed, will likely never be seen again. Some of the brake components interfere with the trucks/wheels. The truss rods are soft brass and bend if touched with any pressure. There are two more of these cars to build. I will choose the assembly sequence for these.
