Rheanus Components.

 Sometimes it is a pleasant surprise to be able to dismantle a model without breaking several items.
Well, Bachmanns Rheanus is one of those models.
To the right is all separate parts removed and saved to be replaced when painting is complete.
Even the centre saddle tank handrail, which looked a little flimsy has been saved- however, this will be replaced with brass handrail and knobs.

This is the complete chassis as removed. All that will be done is to paint the cylinders before refitting.

The backhead detail has been superglued to the basic moulding- will look better when a bit of dry-brushing has been done.
