The steepl cab kit that we sold did come with sideframes - not being much of a prototype expert, I don't know how acurate they were. Just to fill in the history on our traction kits for those who don't know about them: they were produced by a Chicago area AF operator who also loked traction, and produced a bunch of molds to produce trolleys for his own railroad, he approached me about selling them commercialy which I did for a number of years, then he lost interest in continuing and I lost touch with him. In addition to the steeple cab, he did about 6 other kits (designed to be powered by regauged HO power trucks) plus a couple of buses.
