It was then an easy matter to trim and fit the loops. I used a couple of the off cuts to make the rings for the horse hooks. I would have normally used brass wire for these but I didn&#8217;t have any to hand the correct size so I decide to see what I could do with styrene.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3311\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/?attachment_id=3311\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-3311\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3311\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3311\" src=\"http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/IMG_7735.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"719\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/IMG_7735.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/IMG_7735-300x211.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/IMG_7735-768x539.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/IMG_7735-427x300.jpg 427w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-3311\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Parkside NBR Jubilee Mineral Wagon<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_3312\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/?attachment_id=3312\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-3312\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3312\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3312\" src=\"http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/IMG_7743.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"738\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/IMG_7743.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/IMG_7743-300x216.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/IMG_7743-768x554.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/IMG_7743-416x300.jpg 416w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-3312\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Parkside NBR Jubilee Mineral Wagon<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The more observant will note that the brake levers are in different positions in the photos. This is done because I find it a real pain masking them off while painting so I decided to make them move.<\/p>\n<p>To achieve this I drilled the back of the lever and glued in a short section of 1.5mm styrene rod. I drilled through the mounting block under the sole bar and then cut a short length of 1.5mm inside diameter styrene tube to fit over the rod once it passed through the mounting block to create a locking washer which retains the lever but allows movement.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3313\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/?attachment_id=3313\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-3313\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3313\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3313\" src=\"http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/IMG_7751.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"733\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/IMG_7751.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/IMG_7751-300x215.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/IMG_7751-768x550.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/IMG_7751-419x300.jpg 419w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-3313\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Parkside NBR Jubilee Mineral Wagon &#8211; Working brake levers<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_3314\" style=\"width: 872px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/?attachment_id=3314\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-3314\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3314\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3314\" src=\"http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/IMG_7759.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"862\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/IMG_7759.jpg 862w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/IMG_7759-253x300.jpg 253w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/IMG_7759-768x912.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 862px) 100vw, 862px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-3314\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Parkside NBR Jubilee Mineral Wagon<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Before it hits the paint shop, I still need to solder the coupling links closed and add the pins and chain to the brake levers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For those who notice such things, I have managed to correct the brakes being the wrong way around in the photos in my last post.
