Cosmetic Screw Coupling.
Solder together both halves
of each hook and then using
round-nosed pliers form the
four links into U shapes.
Dress the tops of two links
with a file so that they will
pivot freely in the slot in the
hooks. Thread one of these
links through the hook and
spring the ends
over the pegs on
the cast centre.
Then fit the
bottom link.
I pass the hook shank through the buffer
beam slot then solder solid and trim off flush.

Fit the handrails made from 0.7mm brass wire. In
common with the other kits in my range I have
included split pins to support the handrails. These are
fairly easy to use and their appearance can give a
better representation of the prototype handrail
supports than some of the turned brass alternatives.
