Cum Romae esse uti facere Romanos

Had to travel to Mexico for a Standards meeting, so thought I'd take a leaf out of Rod Stewart's book and put the evening in the hotel room to good use. Just hope that Housekeeping doesn't mind some styrene dust and off-cuts on the carpet!
The TRC project continues, with underfloor detailing:
 
 
From the bits box, I've added Kerroby brake cylinder / triple valve assemblies & air tanks.
 
 
Door bumpers from 0.010" styrene added to sides.
 
 
 
Additional cross-members fabricated from 0.040" web and 0.010" flanges.
 
 
And more from 0.010" strip. Note also the drain pipes for the melted ice, made from 1.3mm diameter enamelled copper wire.
 
Brass handbrake bracket / spider. A piece of 0.5mm enamelled copper wire suffices for the rod linking the handbrake spiders. A similar arrangement is needed for the brake release valve.
 
Might be able to add lamp brackets tonight.
