E8 is proving to be a lot of  "fun". Not sure what trucks are on there, but they're not E8 trucks. Wheels are not evenly placed as they are on EMD trucks, so they're some other sort of A-1-A (good thing I didn't order the E8 sideframes). Not a lot available out there to replace them with actual E8 (or 7, or 9) trucks, so some quick & dirty copies of the existing sideframes are in order, until something more prototypical (hopefully) shows up. Knocked these out overnight...

Despite the ones in the back looking smaller in the pic, they're the same size. Just have to make a small adjustment to where the mounting points are, and they should be good to go. If these were the actual truck sideframes, I'd sweat the details a bit more, but for placeholders, they're good enough.

Tender extension is (re)printing, hope to have an update on that later tonight...

Those look like FM Trainmaster truck side frames.
