Swapped out the trucks? Was there a car body bolster under that car? Can it take curves now; looks like the wheels will impact the sides.

I set the car on the trucks, they are not attached yet. The car has no body bolster. I have some Atlas O body bolsters ordered. Car cannot take any curve, the truck journals are trapped by the car stirrups. If necessary, I will shim the body bolster for the wheels to clear the body sides.

Okay; I could have sent you some bolsters - I cast 4 types in resin for converting 3 rial stuff over to 2 rail, or just for scratchbuilding, or for replacing lousy kit parts. Let me know if you want some - you'll have to clean them up a little, and drill & tap for whatever size mounting screw you prefer. Just got 4 lbs of resin delivered, so I should be gearing up mold making soon and then resin casting in my shop if I can clear the level work space on my bench.

Thank you for the offer. I would rather have a pair of yours (seen in the car where you replaced the Zincpestulitus bolsters) but I'll wait for the Atlas bolsters and see what I can do with them.
