I continue to be amazed with the process. The drawing shows the blade and the mechanism in the lowered position. You may need to sand the bottom of that boot to 3 or 4 inches above railhead. But you can't know how far until you have your trucks. Thankfully for me, the new ASF trucks are the same height as the stock trucks from Durango Press.

This is the time we run into with any project, where we have to tweak a little here, compromise a little there, and add a little dash of by guess and by golly and hope it works out in the end. For me with 015, fabricating and setting the blade, the air piping, and deciding what to do with the air tank required the most head scratching. I remember too, having to carve more out the frame to clear the wheel flanges.

Keep it up, this is going to be a fantastic model, and I admire all the work you've done already!
