The Third Class compartment is completed with the installation of the luggage racks:

That part was really delicate as these structures are made of brass wires glued to white metal supports. The mesh is made of plastic, glued with acrylic Gator glue. I hope they will survive the building of the roof.

Moving to the roof: it is very similar to planking a hull on Bulkheads. Planks are dipped in alcohol and gently curved by hand to espouse the shape of the roof ends:

Everything is glued with TiteBond3 (Quick and Thick) and provides a very strong frame for the car.
