The main body assemble done, now to the trucks.  These are scratch built.  Here are words from Barry...

The casting shop made the motor block and the machine shop turned the axles and mounted the wheels. Since the curves are sharp on
the CWRR, it was decided to make the third wheel pivot to the motor block, kind of like a 2-4-0 steam loco. The boys tested it on the
railroad and after a few adjustments, it runs great. The side frames were installed and the brake parts added to complete the truck.
The wheels still need covers, but for the most part the truck is ready.   - Barry
