Recognize the A and B ends of the Car:
It is now time to understand where the B-end should
be on the model. The B end is where all of the brake appliances will go. Turn the carbody right
side up with the brake line hanging clips facing you (these are the small tabs that run along one
side of the car, underneath the sidesill). The B end of the car will be to the LEFT. The A end
will be to the RIGHT. The only difference between the two ends at this point is the extra hole
to cement plastic parts into on the B end
.

Fill running board support holes on A and B ends.
Due to a molding error, the running
board support holes were molded too low. Clean the hole out with a #76 Drill bit, plug the hole
with .020 styrene rod, glue a small piece of the rod in the hole with styrene cement. Let the rod
stick out of the hole slightly. Once dry, use sprue nippers to cut the excess rod flush with the
end of the car. Use 600 grit paper to clean up. Using a #77 Drill bit, drill new holes directly
above the old holes. (See Photo)
