EMD SW8,9,1200 Footboard Pilot Steps Set B – $6.95

This set is for the Atlas O-Scale SW8,9,1200 locomotive.  The set replaces the thick plastic footboards on the Atlas model with finely detailed metal ones.  These footboards are similar to the KV-106P footboards except for the small square openings in the mounting plate above the footboards.  The plastic footboards are cut from the model with a razor saw just above the footboards.  Two square openings should be cut in the face of the pilot to accommodate the square openings in the etched mounting plate.  The mounting plate of the etched footboards is attached directly to the pilot with CA.  The mount is bent upward as is the inner footboard side.  The front plate as well as the side plate next to the steps are bent downward.  The bend lines will guide the bends and a bending jig is most helpful with making the bends.

 

 

 

Note that the photos shown below are not of the actual set.  These photos show KV-106P which is the set without the square openings in the mounting plate.  These photos are merely to show the application of the footboards to the pilot.
