Dear Pieter I don't want to run this topic into the ground, but I am not talking about some of the steam-era, post-1920, say, M/L kits but specifically about the truss rod, ca. 1900 and earlier, ones. So far as I can tell, they work, even if they are not exceptional. Each of us pays his money and takes his choice as to what he can live with. All the examples you cite are for manufacturers of later prototypes. I have always had some reservations about the M/L 50' auto car and perhaps even the 36' stock car is a bit wide (speaking only about those in HO and O scale I have built--I have no experience with them in S scale, if in fact they were ever offered there), but those are the ones to be compared with Kinsman and Northeastern and all the others.
