Michael,  

I'll second Jim's excitement about these trucks!  Your drawing is looking really excellent to my eye.  

The Clear Creek HOn3 kits- yes, one of the cars I need the trucks for is a 27' boxcar that I made using one of those old kits for a lot of the parts except the brakes.  Their detail parts made up into a nice model, and it'll be great to finally get the correct trucks under it!

 

I have one of their kits for a Tiffany reefer that I'll be inspired to build when I have trucks for it, too.  And then there's a flanger I want to make, and a couple of the interesting 2- and 3-board coal cars....

As much as I love to make one of something from scratch,   producing a dozen or more trucks is something else entirely.  Speaking of that,  how about  a C&S locomotive standard wooden pilot assembly...  I need at least four of them, have been puzzling about how to do that.

Thanks!!
John
