[Been working on a Rail Yard Models kit of a PC G47 Gon on a off and on basis. With moving in August, it sort of came to a standstill, but I am going to continue work on it now. Kit with all the parts laid out, mostly etched brass detail parts to attach to a nicely resin cast body. Here I have attached the Kadee Coupler pockets and plastic strip to simulate the I beams of the car's frame. I have also assembled the brake gear components from the supplied Tichy AB Brake castings,and drilled all the holes in the assembled pieces to accept the wires that simulate the air piping. Did some more work on the G47! Attached the Air Reservoir, ABD Valve, Brake Cylinder and Retaining Valve, then ran all the respective air lines to hook these components up. Rick Jesionowski

I just realized I never posted the final in progress and finished pictures of the G47! Here I finished up the brake rigging! The big bending job for the end ladders! Adding more detail parts, the tie down rings were a major PITA!!!!!!! The finished car, painted with Floquil PC Green with lettering supplied with the kit!
