Hi Pieter: Thanks for the shout-out. I'll admit that I didn't do anything to make them more prototypical - just carved away the brake rigging and replaced it with scratch-built levers, rods, etc. so that it looks a little finer and the rods actually extend all the way to the trucks. I may go back and improve on these in time - or I may not. I have a layout to build in the short term and if I'm having a good time switching Port Rowan and St. Williams I may never even notice the shortcomings. Cheers! - Trevor
