Running down the stretch here, I attach the plow with CA and add the mu hoses. I brush them with a flat black and dab a little Model Masters steel on the ends. I then dirty the hoses up with a wash to match the pilot dirt.

Next I added etched walkway chain and painted them steel and toned them down with a dirt wash. I also added a short piece of etched chain to the brake wheel.

I did forget to mention that I had added wind deflectors to the cab. I used DW#354 and after attaching them to the cab, I brush painted dullcote on them to reduce the shine.

Lastly, I modified Kadee #33 coupler boxes to fit Kadees #153 scale coupler. I weathered them up before adding them to the body.
This project is now complete!
