These components were salvaged from the original kit. The four walls, the baseplate and the longitudinal bars with the spring and bearing box castings. Here on the picture the four walls are already glued together. |
|
The new floor from brass with the platform reeling and handrails. This was exactly fitted to the existing baseplate. |
|
The roof from brass. The original roof from the kit was a way too thick and in addition badly warped. Thus the easiest solution was to make a new one from scratch. The wall in the center was probably available on the prototype as well. Here it also serves to fix the roof to the baseplate. |
|
The roof with the plastic box from the kit. They fit perfectly. The ribs on the roof follow the prototype solution too. |
|
The first picture about the mounted car. The walkway on the roof is still missing, as well as the window frames. |
|
The ready made, painted car. This is actually the second painting. The first one was a way too light, almost ocker yellow. The Hungarian 3rd Class cars were painted until 1927, however, tobacco brown. You can observe the gas tank on the bottom. These cars were equipped with gas lights. |
|
The car from another viewing angle. The window frames are etched parts from brass. The roof walkways are made from real wood, stained to dark brown. The scripts are still missing. |
|
The car platform. The ladders and the roof walk were necessary, as that time the conductor climbed on the roof every evening and lighted the gas lights from upside. |
|
The platform again. The ladder is soldered from 0,5mm (0.02") brass wire. |
