Getting Narrow M... ähh... Gauged

[Schraddel]

Hello,

meanwhile i started with the Rail Line box car kit. For this i need trucks and what else can be better than the classic Kadees? And it should be quite easy ???





One of the narrow gauge trucks was completed. I was astonished, that the narrow gauge trucks were in pieces rather than ready built as their standard gauge counterparts.











It was the first truck which brought me near to the edge of a nervous collapse

I allocate it to the experts if herding a sack full of fleas is easier as mounting a classic Kadee narrow gauge truck.




 

It starts rather harmless with putting sone tiny springs onto the cones of a plank






If you managed it to keep all fleas ... ähh... springs stay where they should stay, drop the transverse traverse onto all of the 8 springs. Keep it together!

Then you have to fumble one of the side frames in a 45° angle over the end, hoping on the other end all springs will stay there.

Redo it with the other sinde frame.

If you was sucessful the truck should look as on the photo above.

Time for tea, more exactly herbal tea of the slowdown type.






You only were sucessful when all of the 8 springs are still there.

Time for another cup of herbal tea.
