View of floor showing detail of KC brake & rigging. All wire 0.015" with handbrake line 0.010". All wire phosphor bronze by CMA. Lighter wire has proved unstable with temperature change

Alternative to nylon line is to form the truss rods from 0.015" CMA phosphor bronze wire, slip on the S gauge turn buckles, then superglue into the queen posts and allowed to dry. Glue to sides of the frames except outers. After floor is fitted glue outer to side of body. The center of the outer rod has been clipped out for added effect. The angle stiffener is not required
