Reply to "US NAVY HELIUM CAR"

helium assembly

This is a first draft assembly drawing.  The main two pieces printed together are the Brace-Frame with the "B" end (shown upper right) and the Tanks with the "A" end (shown upper left) . As indicated above, the Tank piece will slide into the Brace-Frame piece. This way the tanks can be painted and  decaled with the decals shown in earlier threads before the slide-in. The decals indicate whether yours is a US NAVY or AEC tank or other tank car.

Then the trucks are attached to the Truck Frame (in Red), the truck frame is then attached to the Brace-Frame and end pieces. Final steps are attaching the "A" end doors on the pivots and the undercarriage structure with the braking parts (shown separated they will be integrated with the undercarriage structure) to the truck frame.

I am looking at replacing the acrylic Truck Frame with a more typical metal stamped truck frame. I don't have that cost yet.

As to selling, still working out those details. I keep you all informed.
