Hello guys and gals.......
Oh boy its been a very busy weekend and first day of the week. I have done some more work on the Hudson such as installing the LED's for the trail end roof of the Williams Observation car and adding brass washers as a spacers (6 per side) between the siderods and the main rod. I think it looks better as to fill in the huge gap between them. The boiler screw is tiny bit too short as if its loosen by a half a turn then the whole chassis will fall out so I got some 4-40 by 1 1/4 inch long machine screws and retapped the hole to 4-40 size (extra longer screw won't hurt). The original screw is 1 inch long, better safe than sorry to have to pick up the broken chassis from the floor. I thought of a idea to use a short piece of PCV pipe and fill it with fishing weights to get a few OZ of weight as a boiler weight ( I haven't gotten the fishing weights yet). And finally made a brass "U" bracket for the cast metal air compressors from Bowser for the front of the engine and spray primer then paint, it came out pretty good. I had to drill and tap 2-56 machine screws to mount it on the frame. Its almost done then body painting is next as the weather permits (again) so here are the photos........
