I found an 'operational' boo-boo I made, regarding to the brake rigging on #5. I looked long and hard again at what I had 'imagined' how it was rigged, but I may have got it round the wrong way - mechanically, that is. It's so difficult to make out details on some parts of the five photos I've used as reference. So, a new brake rigging session is coming, no biggie, it might even spark a greater interest in resuming modeling more often.

I found a good reference for the brake rigging on another locomotive drawing; from a MRR, of December 1978. I will rig up M&U #5 according to how it appears in the plan of an Alco Pacific loco. You live and learn all the time, in this hobby! Co-incidentally, the front four wheel bogie/truck detail of the pacific will help me with another project.

Cheers Bazza.
