Stephen, I am likewise modeling the pre 1880 decade in S. I have drawn up on SketchUp to prepare for Shapeways a truck from the Missouri Car Company of about 1884. This is a 4' 9 1/2" wheelbase truck. Anyhow, I hope to have it ready for Shapeways rendring soon. You can get a feel for this truck if you go to the Sketchup here:

I also have plans on doing similarly with some other designs of 1870's and 80's trucks.
