This kit build went somewhat faster than the first. (1) I did not follow the sequence recommended by Kadee. (2) Used bronze wire and Grandtline turnbuckles in place of kit supplied truss rods (3) Used Kadee #115 couplers in place of kit supplied couplers.
The underbody brake components although very detailed, will likely never be seen again. Some of the brake components interfere with the trucks/wheels. There is one more of these cars to build.
