1./ Brakes & vertical brake-levers (Achsbremsgestänge) are installed and the latter connected to the air-cylinder & its levers (Bremsgestänge). 1x brake was lost during installation.

2./ Other levers (Umstellvorrichtungen) connected to the distributor are installed.

3./ Brake-releasers (Lösezüge) are installed, finally for the brake-system to be completed.

The only part that will complete the wagon is the UIC-steps, either 3D-print or/ nickel/silver etched.

iI also added some weight, and the I tested the wagon and it rolls excellent. The wagon now weighs 246grams.
