My usual conditioning relating to eliminate diagonal stiffness. Both trucks come out of the same mould and both had these halfmoon shaped bolsters.
I measured the thickness, here it was 0.8mm. Then i measured the thickness of my washers, here it is 0.4mm. So a pile of two of these washers will replace the bolsters. The washers were glued onto the base of the pivot pin.





Then the bolsters were removed. This long loco with a rather long distance between the truck pivots is no more diagonal stiff.
