Nachoman 2010 bash challenge - passenger car

[nachoman]

I got the other vestibule constructed today, and added truss rods to the floor. I still need a bunch more underbody details, install couplers, grab irons and railings, paint, diaphragms, and interior details. For now, I put the trucks back on and put it on the track between two of my other passenger cars to see how it matches up. I still have the model power trucks on the cars with 33" wheelsets. The trucks are shorter wheelbase than the plans I have, and the wheelsets should be 36". Also, the truck bolsters are about a scale foot closer to the car ends than the plans. I won't try to fix the bolsters, but I havent decided whether to buy new trucks or just put on larger wheels. I think I have another set of 36" wheels somewhere in a junk box, and if I can find them I will probably just go that route. I don't have the funds right now to buy all new trucks.
