Re: trucks - 1 piece Andrews

Hi,

I thought these were photos of the 1 piece Andrews truck.

From this angle though, I am sure photos 2 and 3 are 3-piece Andrews since a bolt can be seen on the outside of the journal box. Photo 2 and 4 both have the passenger car knuckle in it so I'm sure photo 4 is also a 3 piece Andrews.

This side view of an Andrews truck shows the journal box. Interesting communications problem when I was trying to make my arch bar patterns for 2.5" scale. I posted here what size the journal boxes were and was told (I think for the 3' 7" arch bar) that it was a 4" x 7" size. I think this is the bearing size, not the outside box size.

In 2,5" scale 4" becomes 0.83" and 7" became 1.46". The journal boxes as best scaled from photos 2" high x 1.375" wide. Funny mix up.
