Assembly hints.

These are a few things I did when I built the cars for photos

Be careful - we made the parts small and thin to get as close to prototype as possible.

1.  Cut handrails one at a time with a very, very sharp knife.
      I placed the handrails on the edge of the box with the mounting pins up.
      This made the cut a straight down motion.
2.  Put on handrails first.  If you need glue - glue on the inside only
3.  Put in weight and window glass next.   Spread body with your fingers to
     get the  glass to pass the side windows.
4.  Assemble roof - starting with the grabs.  I opened the holes for the roof
      walks with a sharp knife.  They are a very close fit.  I glued the the
       underside mounting pins very lightly.  then I cut off the posts
5.  To mount the KS couple use the sleeve molded on the
       X2f coupler sprue.
6.  To make good track operation I cut all the wires short of the trucks. 
       They will not interfere with truck swing.
