(...) I'm betting 2finger/3finger 1x2 plate hinges. One cross brace seems in front of the other. The way I did the GMLTC coaling station uses those bracing rods (in red in the newer shuttle pad) for this. (25 years ago, 4-Dec-99, to lugnet.trains)

PS, that blue and white engine says MP15AC to me for some reason... It's not quite an SW. PPS you need bigger hoppers. (25 years ago, 4-Dec-99, to lugnet.trains)
