We show that a family of line
bundles of degree zero over a plumbing family of Riemann surfaces with a separating
(resp. non-separating) node p admits a nice (resp. almost nice) family of flat
p-singular Hermitian metrics. As a consequence, we give necessary and sufficient
conditions for a family of line bundles over such families of Riemann surfaces to
admit an (almost) nice family of p-singular Hermitian metrics which are
admissible with respect to the canonical/hyperbolic (1,1)-forms on the Riemann
surfaces.
