nkp_174's On My Duff Challenge!

[nkp_174]

The Carter Bros 1895 passenger car truck...essentially identical to that used under the first 8 or so Oahu railway passenger cars. The rest of the cars on the roster used copies of these trucks with (sometimes) slightly different hardware (pedestals, center plates, etc) and a slight beefing up. In progress. The fidelity to the prototype is less than a 1/4" throughout the design...usually, spot-on.



A Gregg built "steel" boxcar. What modelers would call a "composite" car. The prototypes were 30t boxcars with bodies that were 33'6" long, 6'6" wide, and 7' tall.
My 30t OR&L trucks are correct for this car.
