Finished up the underside of #0305, and flip it over to start the tops it. Unfortunately I didn’t save a picture of the truss rod setup. Looking forward to getting started on the upper structure.

Re: 12” gauge DRGW Inspired RR
I like your use of square nuts. Gives the build a feeling of authenticity.

Re: 12” gauge DRGW Inspired RR
I too felt like it added to the authenticity, and since I was using a 1/4” through 1/2” size bolts there are plenty of square nuts available in bulk relatively cheap.Glenn Brooks wrote: ↑Sun Dec 03, 2023 5:13 pm I like your use of square nuts. Gives the build a feeling of authenticity.

Where do you find them most easily? Thinking about buying some for an upcoming project.

Re: 12” gauge DRGW Inspired RR
I am interested in some info on the Sandley trucks. Do the bolsters pivot on the ends or are they attached to the top spring plank. Thinking of building a set of these for passenger cars. Thanks Jim
