Big Blue has inspired some purchases

[TMo]

Well, I did a search on the proper truck frames, and if I want to buy new, I'm looking at probably $30 for a set which seems a bit extravagant for 4 pieces of plastic. However, almost all of the Athearn SD45's (non dash 2's) have Flexicoil trucks, so I'll be doing some hunting for a reasonable SD45 or a decent chassis (dummy or powered).

I did put in a bid for a powered RG&W SD45 with a plow, so I may be able to kill two birds with one bid, but that would also probably mean having enough material for ANOTHER project....
