Hello Kurt,
You mentioned one thousand parts on this 1/45 scale kit. It is nearly as much as the number I counted on the 1/25 scale version (1289, to be precise). The kits seem to be the same, apart from the scale. Do you agree? I guess that the kit paper thickness is similar, which means that card reinforcement should be something close to 0,4mm and 0,2mm, instead of 1mm and 0,5mm on 1/25. At 1/45, some assemblies (like the brake system you are currently showing) are surely quite delicate!

Hello Ricardo

yes the kids are the same . Thats the way because there are very small parts
to build . But I like it . If the locomotions are ready they are not so big

and now let´s go on ....

On to the next battle of parts , the suspension of the locomotive ... first assemble the spring packs ...

... and put on .

Sincerely

Now it's getting exciting ... first cut out all parts ...

... and glue piece by piece ... finally color everything with Aqua Color Silver , a difficult hurdle has been overcome !
