Victor, I may have procured enough sets of trucks as of late last night, so no need to raid your stash at this moment.

The tender frame and core were milled from styrene block. It will be shrouded in an etched-brass wrapper. The engine I'm still figuring out, but it will utilize the GS-4 mechanism with the rear driver removed. I'm not as proficient as you established steam-builders. This is my first one, so it will take some time. But I will post progress reports.
