Hello kooklik
i saw at your first post in the previous thread you mentioned you get the drawings from a CD from Union Pacific. Can you be more specific how and where to buy them?

Like everyone else has already said, this is an inspiring build.

It's a lot of work building a model like that let alone stopping to take photos and post them.

Hello all
It has been long time not to update here. I started to build the suspension unit. This unit is not leaf spring like other wheels because there are sliding units above it , so leaf spring cannot be placed here.

Thanks for all warm comments.
Now I'm building leaf springs. Total 6 sets for front drive wheels. The test 3 sets are ok. One set contains with 18 sheets bending along the template. First 3-4 sheets must be serious in bending (exactly follow the template). After the shape is formed the remained sheets are easier. Just bend and paste along the shape.
