STEP 6: Final details
          
        
        
          6-6a: Apply the air brake
        
        
          cylinders supplied by
        
        
          Athearn. Although I am
        
        
          not super detailing the
        
        
          model, I did replace the
        
        
          original air-horn set with
        
        
          a more prototypical one,
        
        
          a Details West AH-190
        
        
          Leslie RSL-3L-3R. This
        
        
          small addition makes a big
        
        
          difference.

          6b: The prototype photo
        
        
          shows a snowplow. To
        
        
          add this detail, I cut off
        
        
          the pilot steps and then
        
        
          cemented the plow to the
        
        
          body with CA.
