Got ties to replace on your line? This Tie Shear can cut it and how.
This is based loosely on a Nordco prototype.
Tie shear comes in several pieces and requires you to file and sand some parts like the engine top and bottom to fit. Glue Wheelset_Rear in place first before Engine_Bottom. You will see tabs on the frame where components fit in between. Test fit to make sure and use the 3D photos here as a guide.
Hitch_Connector is the same as in my Tie Extractor and Speeder set designs and can be used to connect components from each.
While there is a slot under the cab floor on the frame for the Steps pieces to slide into, I found I had to trim off the ends and sand a bit to make them fit.
There are various 0.5mm holes on the model for you to use a fine wire to make hoses if you like.
Storage boxes can be placed as you like.
