PHOTOS! There are 5 photos of the trucks in a new album "Shapeways Trucks".
These are EARLY trucks, and at that time it was common for the trucks AND the
wheels to be painted.
The material I ordered was "White Strong and Flexible". I may order some in
"Frosted Ultra Detail" to see what the difference is. The ones I got appear to
me to be quite adequate, but I do understand the "FUD" is supposed to show the
detail even better. They cost $10 a truck more, too.
Be aware that the bolster is simply FLAT on top, and will certainly need some
washers to the body bolster to achieve correct car height. A set of bolster
pivot and side bearing castings would have been nice, but beggars can't be
choosers. If and when I get to designing my own additional parts from
Shapeways, I may do some of these...... maybe.
The NYC car I mentioned has brakes on one truck only. Simply a matter of
cutting off the extra brakes on the second truck. This was back in the days
BEFORE air brakes!
Please excuse the rush paint job I did on these. Brush painted by hand without
a micro-visor, and the photos certainly show up the areas that need touch-up.
