Welcome....the frame is painted, a top view.....
And a bottom view with coupler pockets pulled out......
Here's the instructions for coupler assembly,
And the parts.
I was thinking about the paint scheme for the car, (again, after I got the bunks painted) was wondering if the all black bunks were too much.
Here is a Rivarossi car labeled for Pacific Lumber, which is what my car will be labeled for. Internet pictures are largely modern skeleton cars, early cars are black & white photos. Anybody have an idea on how they might have been painted out of the shop, although I could see where they were painted at the whim of the shop/owner?
All black brake gear on my car isn't going to happen, (sounds like a good challenge for the next skeleton car build, I still have 2 more,) and I was thinking of painting the iron work on the end of the car and the truss rods black.
What are your thoughts on a paint scheme?
