Hi All, I have been busy designing the 2D-F1 Archbar Trucks. http://www.lanestrains.com/2D-F1_Truck.jpg It is essentially done and is very correct. The only modeling concessions that were made were the pins to hold the springs in, a larger bolster pivot area, and a hole through the bolster for the screw. Other then that is it 100% straight up prototype. It is actually currently shown at prototype size. I drew the S Helper Service wheelsets and axle bushings, and then did a 64/1 ratio! I portrayed the wheelsets as pure silver for graphic separation. According to SolidWorks, a S Helper Service wheelset at prototype size made from pure silver is 4513.11 pounds! I just love it!
I have been on it constantly for about 2 days now. I want to take a step back, and then do some final checking so I know it will go together well. You could see them for sale on the PSM website sooner then later...
