The model is from Walthers line of products from the early 1990s. The model is accurate to the prototype however a lot of the detail is moulded on like the grab irons or on the heavy side such as the uprights and the stirrups below them. If the model was being produced today then a lot of those items would be separately applied parts. In saying so the newer model would be more expensive in comparison and the detail of the Walther's model was acceptable. At the time, if higher fidelity was needed, a modeller carefully carved off the moulded features and replacing them with after market parts and carefully matched and repainted those areas. This is what I intend to do and that will produce a model that will fit in with the later manufactured products. Model Railroading Magazine produced a series of articles in the mid 90's on how to do this. Access to these articles use to be possible through the Train Life website.Read full review
