I started building coach 64 around March of this year
I decided to start from the bottom up so to speak, and do the trucks first. I will include some photos of my progress, but since I am planing on casting the side frames in white metal or resin to save time, I will skip the mold making and casting process's and just show construction.
These are the trucks that I will be making from scratch.
After makng a prototype of the sideframes I made a mold and casted the first 5 sets shown above. The wheels are from Sierra Valley.
Here is the second pair of finished trucks assembled, painted and tested for coach 64.
With that finished, I moved on to the side walls. I will be building the window casings separage from the walls.
