couplers not compatible with Dorfan?
will tab and slot be an option?
trucks with details, but leaf springs on freight cars?
i'd rather see the plain-jane Dorfan trucks with brass journals.
nice, different, but not really Dorfan.
Dear Overland,
Dorfan had an inexpensive pressed steel truck that they used also for either passenger or freight. The cast one was considered the premium one and that is the one we model in O gauge. Of course using Dorfan Alloy would be suicide and as we are almost 90 years down the line we use modern materials to get the result that they would have if they would have the same materials and manufacturing techniques as we have today.
Yes, they modeled leaf springs on the premeum Dorfan bogies and so do we, see the picture.
The journals are painted silver.
In my view we represent the true spirit of Dorfan.
This announcement has primarily the purpose to gauge the interest of you and all other tinplaters and we value your observations. We are open to any suggestions to enable us to offer you the best.
Cheers,
Andries
