Thanks! Bernd.
Like I mentioned at the begining, all of the supplies & tools used in this tutorial were purchased from Ngineering.

Thanks Greg. I didn't start reading this thread from the beginning. I should go back to the beginning and look for the info.

Just went through there web site. Nice collection of products.

Thanks again.

I made a few O scale ones with K & S stock and some 3dp shades I printed. Was wanting the radial wave shade but couldn't figure out how to draw it up. The other shortcoming was the paint wouldn't stick to brass? Any pointers on painting brass? I installed 2 on the saloon I built last years with the goose neck and trim ring. Your totally correct about fishing the wire on an already bend tube. It just doesn't work. They are fun to build.

Philip, your O scale gooseneck looks wonderful!
As for painting brass, perhaps using gravoxide/blackener on the brass first would give you a better tooth for the paint to stick to.
