Nice work, Kevin!

Did you have to bore out the axle holes in the caboose's trucks?

I didn't, but it may have helped. I just glued them with the sideframes not completely flush with the bolsters. There is a little square "peg" that fits in the slot in the bolster. As they are now, the trucks are a little "wide" and would hang up on the caboose steps on anything tighter than 18" radius curves. Boring the axle holes and getting the sideframes flush with the bolsters would have helped with that. I suspect that the wheelsets now supplied with the trucks are slightly longer than the wheelsets that were used when the trucks were originally designed.
