A couple photos of end beam

The OR&L end beam is coming along nicely. I added the gap on the bottom based on a photo of a wrecked coach (the same wreck that caused #87, sister to the surviving 4-6-0 #85). Every piece of hardware that should be there is there, except the ratchet and pawl for the brake shaft and a pair of brackets to be created. I want these to be good since they are the most noticeable detailed parts on the models. If I had to do this for every end beam on every car, I wouldn't do it. Glad the South Park cars won't need as much hardware on their end beams.
