Thanks Martin, nice thing about hubs & glad hands is they are already nicely detailed, just needed paint to bring them to life. Used a light grey on hub body (from Testors Model Master line), Polly Scale "oily black" on centre of hub as this is a clear window on the real ones through which you can check the oil level, and red for centre plug.

Thanks guys, a couple detail shots I forgot to post earlier: Air tank drain pull cords made from light monafilment line and a slice of aluminum tube for the crimp connector. A bit oversize but any smaller and human hands wouldn't be able to assemble it even with tweezers! Another tank drain pull visible, also chain to keep spare tire in place. A-line 27 links per inch, I used an HO scale eyebolt (sold as lift rings for diesel locomotive hoods) on the tire carrier for a place to attach the chain.
