Wagon or freight car?

The fixing of the wagon or in American terms, freight car (never sure how to refer to it in the UK but I guess freight car is probably the more appropriate term) coupling has grown into a bigger job! This is almost always the case with one of my projects! I found some damage to the body moulding with the ladders at one end crumpled

and a missing step at the other end indicated by the red arrow.

Some carful gluing and clamping got the crumpled steps back to shape.

And some plastic strip formed a new step that just needs cleaning up and painting.

Whilst in bits I painted the underside in grey. Not sure if this is the case in real life as the photos of real freight wagons show various paint schemes. It should be a good base to weathering though!
