Assembly of SUF coal car is complete

The car is awaiting a trip to the paint shop. I'll then take the builder's photo. I'll post some photos of the completed -but not yet painted- car later.

I enlarged a set of 1:48 scale drawings of a South Park Cooke 2-6-0 to 1:20.3 for Liam's CC 2-6-0. I've examined the chassis and I'm trying to decide if I should increase the driving spacing for the lead drivers...they are currently 4'6"-4'6" spacing, but should be 5'-4'6" spacing. I won't have to alter the motor-gear-rear driver arrangement, but it will affect the sound cam.

I'm looking forward to getting back to my passenger car projects and preparing the mold for my 2-8-0 domes.
