Cab Details #2

More cab detailing. Handrails are fitted, which took a couple of goes to get them right. The knobs are really old stock that I bought at least 20 years ago and the last four. The Gibson ones I bought recently were far too long, hey ho!

I've also provided somewhere for the fireman to rest between shovelfulls out of 1mm plastcard. The driver's seat is part of the casting so won't arrive until the driver is fitted (a long time yet!)

Are they the same as the handrail knobs that your using on the rest of the body? If not the mis-match could jar....

Gibson make different lenght handrail knobs.

Apologies if I appear picky!

They are different, but once it's all painted black I think they will be okay - looking at the prototype pics (well a Brit anyway!) the cab handrail knobs are VERY short, quite unlike the boiler side ones in any case B)
