Awesome! I'm amazed by all this. It's very interesting to see this in 3D with the lift present under the frame. Now you see the quandary of how to place one or two reservoirs  and a brake cylinder in there. The RGS 01 had a longer body probably to accommodate that stuff. This why I placed the reservoirs sideways forward of the mechanical well. They could have been covered with decking and invisible. The brake cylinder is between the center sills forward of the rear truck.

On both 015 and 016, I had to carve out the flangeways for the wheels deep enough to accommodate a #6 frog. Our model flanges are oversized and this must be allowed for, as you say, the trucks are a tight fit.

Ah, yes. Those decisions! Many of yours had to be addressed much earlier in this process.

I will reach out to Keith Wiseman to see if he may have any O Scale hardware left over from his RGS 01 run. I don't know if he reran the HOn3 version and I'm sure it wasn't done in Sn3.

Keep us posted, Keith. You are really doing great work.
