Detailing the Athearn SD45T-2 (Part 14)

Here's a close-up of the center section of the 3-piece lift bar. If you look at the inset picture, you can see the half loop and how it fits over the outer sections of the lift bar. I secured my cut lever with super thin Zap. However, If you can tighten the bends of the center section around the two out sections, you can have an operating 3-piece lift bar!

Note: I neglected to mention not to forget to drill a .029" hole just above the plow pin hole in order to mount the DW #267 trainline hose. I know, it's in the wrong place, however, you will not see it once the plow is mounted on the pilot. The trainline hose will be secured in place, and then threaded through the elongated .042" hole we made earlier in the plow along with the mu hose clusters.
