The brake line wouldn't run under the well. It is concealed along the inside of the side panel.

You can see a short length of the main brake pipe just above the truck spring package.

I believe these cars started out in the Rapido "Prime Mover" series which is their moniker for the lower-end of the price spectrum.

In that regard I believe some details have been abbreviated in order to keep the final cost in the "wife approved" MSRP range.

Cheers, Ed

Thanks for refreshing my memory Ed. I remember Jason saying something about his older molds being used for the "Prime Movers" series, good idea.

I like the "wife approved" moniker. PWRS is close enough to home that when I have been a good boy (which is most of the time) the wife will stop in and buy me something that is on my constantly updated list they have on file. So it is all wife approved as far as that goes. She has even come home with two Atlas Gold Series loco's for me (out of the blue) and passed them over my shoulder to me while I have been on the forums. PWRS knows she is my wife.Laugh
