POST 3:
making lanyards for your bell and whistle:
Lanyards added to bell and whistle.
An easy mod that was cheap and quick.
Stripped some 22 gauge wire and sprayed the strands black. Best to separate the strands before painting and leave hanging over a table top to dry individually. Had to do 3-4 sprays by the time I finally covered all sides.
The holes in the bell and whistle arms had paint in them so they had to be re-drilled.
First I put the wires through the eye bolt on the side of sand dome and then ran it into the hole in the front of the cab, then the wire could be bent and placed into the hole on the bell arm. Same with the whistle, only on the engineers side.
Bending the wire removed some of the paint but a black magic marker worked well on covering the brass wire.
