Hello,
Did Central Locomotive Workshop (CLW) include *Brass* C-C trucks with their O-Scale SD-40 kit or did CLW use *"white metal"* C-C trucks?
Also, Did CLW make only C-C Flexcoil (early SD-35/38/40/45 '68 -'74) trucks for their kits and/or did they make C-C HT-C (Later types of SD-40/45 '74 to '96) trucks?
Could anyone send me a PDF copy of the CLW SD-40 kit assembly sheets to help clear up my questions?
I have 2 unbuilt and complete SD-40/45 brass kits (Central Locomotive Works and Locomotive Workshop) where I have 3 different sets of EMD C-C trucks that were included.
Two of the EMD C-C truck sets are Flexcoil sideframes and all made of "white metal" and 1 set of EMD C-C trucks are HT-C style all made of brass.
The Locomotive Workshop kit instructions I have show the use of "white metal" trucks and I know the CLW has used "white metal" for trucks in the past because I own a CLW FA-1B that uses "white metal" AAR Type B trucks. I am missing the CLW assembly sheet and parts list that were not included in my eBay purchase.
Matching the Trucks Bolsters to the frame mount does not give me any clues and I cannot seem to find any pics on the Internet that show a completed CLW SD-40 kit with clear truck details...
Do you know the answer to CLW brass/whitemetal truck questions?
Thanks, Steve
