Here i made a small improvement:
If the loco is lifted (by 5-finger crane ) the front truck will travel about 45° down and swivel about nearly 90° left or right.
This small piece of U-shaped brass soldered onto the bottom plate will prevent this unwanted moveabilty now. The truck has still the necessary abiltiy to make movements sidewards and up and down. But it is much easier to rerail the loco than before.
Still waiting for PSC parts.
