If you look at the photo of the trucks, you'll notice that the center bolster blocks are sitting in the background. Because we didn't know the height they needed to be, we will need to first install the couplers to determine the extra height the original spacers should be.
For the brakes, that's simple! We'll just order the kit from San Juan Models.
But seriously, we've been developing a design document for the brake system. Our team has been underneath many of the narrow gauge passenger cars in Colorado and we have laid out everything that needs to be built or acquired. We also have a good idea how to put it together (and 292 is just a couple tracks away), but this will obviously be the major focus over the next few months.
