Thank you @T.Albers for yet another excellently photographed and described "how to" post in your UP passenger car series.  So often folks will post on a project, but don't describe the technique or details which greatly diminishes the utility of their efforts for others.

Including the directions for the trucks is but another example of your generous contributions.  Thank you.

Thanks @Pingman  I forgot to include a small detail in this project that might help others who are building 41-CUDO trucks like this.   When installing your new side frames the horizontal bolster anchor rod (see arrow below) should be oriented toward the center of a passenger car.

I messed up the first time and had to install the front set of side frames twice on the Pacific Shore to get this tiny detail correct!

Thanks,
