Currently I am working on the locomotive boiler as well as a series of 1888 era passenger cars.  Future posts will cover these.

The top trim is fabricated from .010 x .018 brass bar.  I shape it to the contour of the side. 

Next I clamp it to the edge using cardboard to keep the back flush.  Once I have a section aligned I solder it in place working my way along the edge from the front to the rear.

This is how the completed edge looks.
