The second truck continues
Thanks Don!
Well, the work continues with adding the brake cylinders and associated components. Also, the braking shoes have been added and finally the wheels glued to the axles. The inside wheel flanges pitch measures 2.8cm, which fits nicely inside the rails.
To ensure proper alignment of the wheel flanges, I made a simple template that fits in between the wheels. During drying of the glue I placed hold-down weight on the trucks to make sure the wheels remain level.
Should be able to finish both trucks in the coming days.
