As soon as the paint is 100% cured I plan to sand some of it off to try to get the pealed paint effect like I did with the 1913 car I built several years ago.

Dallas, the meet dates are no longer published on the web page so we have no way to plan to make a trip down.

Re: Making ladder rungs and grabs for a boxcar
Here is a photo of the finished car after I weathered it.
My nephew has a machine shop in Minnesota and he made the KB Triple brake cylinder for me. It is just an aluminum turning but it does help the underframe some.

I think I had to re-upload the video, I cannot remember why it got lost. Brakeman7.5 has posted the correct link.
