Did a test run on 1" scale, "one piece" arch bar trucks. Had a few inclusions from migrating petrobond (operator error)
1.5 scale trucks are now coming out perfect, once there is a stock pile We will make them available.
These are pics of the 1" ones showing the faults.

Re: Casting RR Truck frames
What do your trucks look like when they are machined up and painted?
Thanks

A little locomotive with 4 wheels on the track is a lot more fun
than a 1/2 finished one with 16 wheels on the bench!

Re: Casting RR Truck frames
They look very nice to me of course, but we have not painted any ourselves. Maybe I will get a hold of some that others have done and see if I can get pics to post here. 1.5" is all that we have sold. We are waiting on feedback on the 1" ones (4-3/4" guage) we got busy pouring 1" spoked drivers and brake shoes, then the foundry had to take a back seat due to this virus thing they got going.
