Bill, I have the photos you sent me of the truck you saw on Long Island. There were many variations of these trucks and the LI one seems to be longer and deeper than most. I'm thinking of making a styrene master, using brass rivets that I have on hand, then casting sides in resin with brass or bronze bearings. I'm still not sure about the bolster design, and am open to any suggestions you might have. Shapeways is another option for the master, although my experience with their parts is that they are very fragile. -Wes

While not a need of mine, neither was the Archbar trucks I made. I don’t know anything about the Fox truck other than a few photos I took - 7 years ago tomorrow - at a Long Island train museum. Pick the “best one”, get a group of “Sugar Daddies” together to cover the upfront costs and lets convene on the idea maybe in September. Things could happen. **No need to duplicate individual efforts** here.
