Got both the Sn3 coal car and cinder car kits over the weekend. Intended to put them aside while finishing several more pressing projects. So, of course, I've started the cinder car kit anyway and have a few questions.

I've got Derrell Poole's C&S Connection drawing to help. I thought there may be a Bob Stears Gazette drawing of the cinder car as well (I save all of his stuff), but can't find it. Any help? What issue for instance...

The car will be lettered for my freelance road. Was wondering what trucks to use. They don't have to be 100% correct, on the other hand why not? I've collected a number of different trucks (carefully hidden away who knows where) but tend to be truck ignorant. Haven't given it much thought yet but need to choose a coupler. Have all kinds of Kadee couplers, thinking a 4 or a 26? Thoughts?

Will post pictures later.
