[cid:[email protected]] Rusty: These were used under express boxcars, right? If you do not provide wheels, what diameter wheel would work?

I've been working on redoing that truck in two different versions. VERSION I: consists of 8 castings. The side frames swivel for equalization just like some of the old ACE trucks and others did. The sideframe and bolster will be designed so you can use either shouldered axles or taper axles, Old miller axles, ACE axles, or SHS tapered axles, NWSL tapered axles that PRS used in there boxcar kits, You may need to file the area of the bolster to narrow it for some of these, notably the SHS axle which is shorter over all that the others. No soldering is required, but a small amount of filing is. The castings will come machined. VERSION II This is what you see in my album if you look. I did a test assembly of my first parts out of the moulds. These are a complete, totally independent sprung axle like on the prototype GSC truck Each journal box moves on it's own. they were sprung to respond to the light weight of PRS boxcars. They consist of a kit of a few casting sprues but a total of over 32 parts. NO SOLDERING is required. Some of these trucks used a single shock absorber attached in the middle of each side frame. Version one will have a VERISON IA that will include the castings for this, again NO SOLDERING required. VERSION II will have a operating two piece shock absorber. This is needed if you want the drop bar to operate correctly. NO SOLDERING required I also am working on the Roller bearing version of this truck. These were used on the SP and I have no idea what other railroads. I'm so busy I don't have the time to do all of that type of research!. This truck is NOT the PRR version. That truck will come along in time. NONE of them will come with wheel sets. I need to do more tests before I mention price. They have to be right, they have to work, or they go to the garbage can. I was informed that S scale was dead in the water. Rusty
