Hi Y'all Sorry it took a few to get back to work. The sections and frame of the truck are for generic rolling stock not just the caboose. I'm trying to make them available for any cars needed, I've seen some examples of the trucks on the Civil War Railroad site and BTS website in 1/32 54mm and they are fairly expencive due to the R&D cost I'm sure and the molds. I'm trying to make this set from scratch but the axels and wheels are pastic and steel from the RailKing cars and caboose and I'm loth to destroy them just yet the arch bar trucks and hook and loop couplers are not anything like protype 1860's.I'm in the works of posting pictures as soon as I figger out the way. LOLthe springs are fasioned from a pen spring and two shaped wood pads and drilled with a small 3/32" bit and a thin paper clip bent to a flat U shape passed thru the bottom and the springs placed over them and the top wood pad compressed to make them seem as buffer springs of the dual srping type for the center of the lower arm area. I'm still in the works to make the metal frames for the axle and journal box attacment, I've tried using a CD, plastic cut to match the pattern but that seems to thin.I'll look at a hardware store for a decent metel thats easily worked for the frame maybe a light switch plate cut out a section for pattern.more later
