East Broad Top#16 Passenger truck for Kadee wheels

This is a three-piece truck assembly to allow installation of wheelsets without bending and breaking the parts. The parts fit together snugly and care should be taken when first assembling them. Rotating the bolster back and forth will allow easier assembly when the wheels are installed. The fit can be loosened enough to allow the wheels to track over irregularities, however the wheelbase is short enough that this may not be necessary. This truck models the trucks for #16, though they seem to be the same as the other miner's cars. One print has parts for three complete trucks. The bearings are designed to use Kadee wheelsets which may be applied by springing the sideframes.
