What was the era for these things?
Hi Guys....We really appreciate the comments and support we get on Railwire... thanks!I did want to address something about the appearance of the rivets. The rivets, as designed and printed on the model, are .005" in diameter which works out to .8" in N Scale - .0023" (that's a little over two thousandths of an inch) larger than the actual 7/16" prototype. What may have exaggerated their appearance may be the fact that they ARE a bit too tall (offset from the body) so that they would print and not be lost on the surface. Painting these fine details will nearly always cause a build up of paint around them - even with a fine spray like Tamiya primer - and this may make them appear larger than prototype.
