More work on the Commuter Car Fleet...
 |
| I found another sprue from Kato with grab irons to use on one of the 6 window cream-colored coaches. |
 |
| I also found these extra sprues which I think are for one of the locomotives I have. This should be interesting to fine out which sprue goes with which locomotive. |
 |
| This is the 6 window coach that needs some grab irons attached. |
 |
| Just adding 8 grab irons. Pretty quick job tonight. |
 |
| Updating the spreadsheet. |
 |
| That took a little over half an hour. |
