Finally, some MLW parts

[BCR 570]

I will have to look up the dimensions, but hte big difference is that the original ALCO trucks have an uneven axle spacing and the Dofascos have an even axle spacing, thus a shorter overall wheelbase.

I will have news on the Briggs Models trucks in a month or two.

Tim,
couldn't you use atlas flexicoil trucks or the GE trucks used under the-8's? I know the axle spacing wouldn't be perfect but it would at least be evenly spaced.

Hmmm, interesting...

Can we agree that when we buy stuff from Eric that we take pics and email them back to him?

If I get around to ordering some of the parts I suspect might be useful that is what I will do (and post them here too!)

I agree that the photographs on Eric's site are too small to be of much use, but he lives in a very rural area and I would not be surprised if if he has to limit the size of his online content due to bandwidth issues.  Here in Canada we are used to seeing the parts on hte wall at our local hobby shop (when they can be kept in stock!).

I will post photographs of the parts I have purchased at the time they are used for the projects for which they are intended.  Right now my C-630M is away for decoder and light installation and I am still shopping for my RDCs.
