The MLW came. Thank you very much Christo for everything!!

The following till now were done on the loco's bufferplank:
1./ Coupling-pockets from WEIMANN HO out of brass-casting (blue-arrows).
2./ UIC-screw-couplers from WEIMANN HO out of brass-casting (red arrows).
3./ 1,0mm - holes (widened) for the airbrake-hoses (green-arrows).
4./ Finally, 2,2mm - holes widened from 2,0mm, as well as the additional existing buffer-plates out of nickel/silver were de-soldered for the french sprung-buffers the prototype has to be installed (orange arrows).

3-way - MU hoses (out of brass-casting from OMI / Overland Models HO) + protector-hook (HANDMADE out of bended 0,3mm - brass wire) of the screw-chain installed:

Side-1: hook (brown arrow) + MU-hoses (yellow-arrows)


Side-2: MU-hoses (yellow-arrows)



NOTE. The hooks mentioned, were always difficult to grab them with the tweezers, although I grabbed them, I lost 3 of them in the room - and it's like earth swallowed them , so I had to re-HANDMADE them, nevetheless I was searching all the room - and I found only one (of the 3). I probably get a better tweezer for grabbing them better, as well as HANDMADE more.
