Hello everyone.
This project I had in my head a long time ago , since I bought this locomotive kit .
The truth is that the kit itself is very poor, but to be experiencing is a good candidate ..
Apply extreme weathering, which may seem excessive, but it is real.
First the kit , many of you already know it .

First step, with a cutter I have going over all the slots and junctions to give them a little more depth.
Then clean the plastic well. I used water and soap dishes, all very technical stuff, yes.
Then once dry, a little alcohol with a paper, and priming.

The entire rear extinguisher is a piece of aluminum tube, with turned brass caps. (head and base)
a couple of pieces like a valves and a piece of aluminum as Operation lever. The tube of the extinguisher into the engine is wire brass.
