The air hose is a nice add-on detail.
IN the video I also didn't see any glue used anywhere during the assembly.
I always thought that Micro Trains made excellent quality models (even if the dimensions were sometimes off), but it is also nice to know that they still "have it".
That's actually a Stanray cut lever. It's rather chunky, to be honest, but that's the nature of trying to do those kinds of parts in plastic. A wire part would be better, but also would be tricky to make by hand. Alternately, an etched part out of say 0.005" SS would look good there too.
I'd think that glue just slows down the assembly process too much.
This model is at the nexus of MTL's tooling and printing capabilities and state of the art in the industry. It's the model that finally lives up to what MTL's capabilities could be, with an eye toward prototype fidelity as an important factor. It shows in the final product. Beautiful.Kudos MTL, and kudos to Joe D'Amato for running this one through the finish line.
Here is hoping they do another run! I was too late in trying to purchase these. Great video by the way!
I’m sure it’s on the MTL site, but what’s the minimum radius for these cars?
