    Hey everyone, I've got yet another question...

    This time it is on BLMA modern EMD cut levers.
    I have it out, but don't quite know just how it is to be folded and it seems somehow the little pieces that have teency tiny holes drilled in them go on the levers and on to the engine. :embarassed:

    Have you seen this from the BLMA website?

    http://www.nscaleblma.com/BLMA13.html

    This gives some basic tips for folding and a good pic of a finished cut lever mounted on a loco.

    Get a nice set of needle nose pliers and carefully bend the wire to the same shape as on the picture link Russ just showed. It takes some practice but the results are worth it. I put on all four of those lift rings on the wire and with a piece of thin .007 wire used as an applicator for CA, insert one ring at a time. Work slow and have good light!
