Nickel of course looks different when you are trying to represent brass so I thought I would have a go at turning some.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I did one to work out how, but the four holes came out all over the place. Once I had a method that worked I made the three that I needed. They actually looked the part when fitted to the back head but what was missing were the handles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/IMG_0001-4.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"609\" height=\"527\" src=\"http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/IMG_0001-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6138\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/IMG_0001-4.jpg 609w, https:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/IMG_0001-4-300x260.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/IMG_0001-4-347x300.jpg 347w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 609px) 100vw, 609px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Cab hand wheels<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/IMG_0002-5.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"997\" height=\"808\" src=\"http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/IMG_0002-5.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6139\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/IMG_0002-5.jpg 997w, https:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/IMG_0002-5-300x243.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/IMG_0002-5-768x622.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/IMG_0002-5-370x300.jpg 370w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 997px) 100vw, 997px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Cab hand  wheels<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>At this size I couldn&#8217;t see any sensible way to add them to the ones that I had made so I had a rethink.<br>I modified the technique and made rings to solder to the face of the etches and then added half round rod for the handle.
