Underframe detailing...

I got another couple of hours on the Schoema today so have made some more visible progress.
I've formed the front handrails from 0.9mm brass wire, soldered for strength. The axle boxes are a white metal casting that's not quite right but good enough and crisp in detail. To these I'll add the characteristic angled bracing and shock absorbers. The first pair of air tanks for the braking system were also made up from Evergreen styrene tube with plastruct strapping and Milliput used to dome the ends.
