I'm sorry for the coding nightmare of my earlier post. Apparently a cut
and paste Word document doesn't seamlessly move to yahoo.
We would like
to announce our plans to release the most accurate and detailed CB&Q caboose
trucks ever offered in both HO and O scale including Proto:48. This project was
delayed with the production and release of The Burlington Waycar Drawing Book.
Trucks are back up on the burner along with some other projects.
The #7
trucks with a 5' wheelbase and 33" wheels were used on the 28' and 30' wood
waycars.
The #2 trucks with a 7' wheelbase and 33" wheels were used on
most of the CW class waycars.
Masters for the O scale #2 and #7 trucks
are in final development for fit and finish and should be available for shipment
in about 90 days. The HO #7 and #2 trucks are in process and will follow shortly
thereafter.
We used Solidworks to develop the 3D part geometry necessary
to produce the lost wax casting masters using stereolithography.
Stereolithography yields the best and most accurate models in the rapid
prototyping market. Corners are sharp and square and parts are highly detailed
due to the high accuracy of this rapid prototyping process.
Our all brass
truck kits feature:
Wood grain beams in O scale
Correct brake beam
hangers
Correct journal box lids
Sharp and crisp nut bolt washer
detail
Casting information
Sprung and equalized trucks in O
scale
Sprung trucks in HO
Correct wheel backside profiles in
P:48

7'2" wheelbase truck with 33" wheels $85.00
Part #13-4823 Proto:48 #7 Truck
Kit 5' wheelbase truck with 33" wheels $85.00
Retail prices have not been
finalized and prices are subject to slight change.
We've had several
requests to offer the #2 trucks in 1/32 scale for the backyard railroaders that
want to build the CW class of waycars. This will be possible if sufficient
interest develops.
The use of 3D CAD coupled with stereolithography
provides a superior source for the creation of casting masters for modeling
projects. We have a lot of things planned for release this year including our
line of O scale GP/SD Steam Generator Detail Parts that are done awaiting
instruction sheets. We will post an announcement when they are available. Stay
tuned.
Please let me know your level of interest in these trucks. I am
not asking for firm orders yet. I just want an idea of the level of interest in
this project. Email your interest to waycartrucksatgmailDotCom. I will be
checking this email
on an irregular basis but do encourage your
feedback.
Thanks.
