Reply to "Lionel GG1 JLC (not "Legacy) truck restoration in brass."

You'd have to have a good eye to see any difference.  I obviously don't have a good eye.

I see a very minor difference in detail level near the center where the axle is directly behind the truck.  The detail is slightly less defined on the replacement on the left.

But that also could quite probably be because Tony did a spray of flat black over it due to the speckled finish on the prototype that was accidentally sent.  And this is just a sample of looking at these two trucks.  I could possibly note the same looking at a series of originals.  I have never looked at a large number of them side by side before this exercise.

In any event, this is still GREAT, since the alternatives before this quite involved project by Harry was NOTHINGSo great job, Henning's Trains!!

I guess technically once we replace these trucks an "R" should end up on the truck somewhere underneath to show it's not an original part for those of us trying to stick to TCA standards.  But the alternative was obviously worse for the units with the problem!
