Well the project is of to a careful start. :-)
I've ordered the correct trucks (I'm not confident enough yet to scratchbuild those :-) ). I couldn't find any of the 'better' manufacturers that fit the bill, I needed 50 ton Bettendorf Caboose trucks, which do NOT have coiled springs. Almost all trucks on the market have these. However, I found a set of correct trucks from Atlas, so I decided to order those. They'll do nicely until I find better/am able to make them/can be bothered... :-)
