Reply to "KTM 2-8-4 Berkshire with restricting hydraulic lines on rear truck"

I removed the pin holding the leading edge of the rear truck to the frame. This permitted the rear truck to swing out freely going around my 072 3-rail. Was temporarily very happy! Looked closer to the drivers, and they will not handle the 072 curve. All drivers are flanged. By the way, the road name is C & O.

So, I'm going to sit on this one and think about it a bit. As I see it, have a couple options to consider: blind flanges on center drivers, slotted vs round hole on connection to leading edge of rear truck, and maybe conversion from 2 rail to 3 rail; put it in a case; find something I like more.

Fun to tinker with the possibilities. I've been out of the hobby for 35 years and am enjoying getting back into it. Thanks again for all the input, very helpful.

Regards,

Dirk
