Will the center plate are the Pullman style, the same type would have been seen in the early 5' wheel base D&RG trucks.
The next cars to be worked on after Ury 50 are as fallows. D&RG 307 and the Colorado midland 111 together, then D&RGW baggage 168, after that D&RGW 0250/C&NW coach 6(she will be returned to C&NW 6) the Pullman sleeper then probably a caboose or freight car. In between the other cars we will continue to work on B-8, RICO, as well as D&RGW RPO 60.
If you had not heard or seen we have a set of ACF steel passenger trucks and we have one under the 60 already. Though they are not the correct trucks they will do for now and they look way better than the tender trucks.
