Robel 54.22 Track Maintenance Vehicle Kibri 16100 DB Bahnbau

Hi,

My first (a second kit is due to arrive soon) model of Robel 54.22 Gleiskraftwagen (Track Maintenance Vehicle) - DB Bahnbau (kibri 16100) has arrived and the work at the workbench started almost immediately!

The parts included on this kit:

I looked to the cabin I took the immediate decision to remove all engraved handrails and apply new ones.

The following photos shows the original engraved plastic handrails:

The next 2 photos shows all handrails removed and the 0,35mm holes already made and ready to receive the new metal handrails:

Finnaly with the new metal handrails applied but not fixed yet.

Regarding the handrails I always use 0,35 mm (spare!) strings from my Yamaha C2 grand piano!  :)

More to follow soon (I hope)!

Thanks

Regards,
