Jim, The fellow who had the double spring idea was a former member by
the name of John Siller. I guess you could say John was a spring man!
He would search the world over for those things. Another idea he had
was to use American Models truck springs for replacements in a Overland
FA. There is an old Kalmbach video on old dinosaur diesels where there
is one view of an engine negotiating some rough trackage so the engine
bounced along a bit. Well John's engine with those AM springs did the
same thing--very nice little effect. I think Billy Click might own that
engine now.
