Amazing!

Where did you get your details and measurements for the AAR Type B truck?
All I can find are loco pictures showing only the sides of the truck.
No idea how thick the parts are, etc.

HA! I am on to you now. This is not for Railworks at all. You are trying to add as much detail as possible so you can send this off to a 3D printer and put this baby on some steel rails!

Dang it! You got me! My old school has a 3D printer, I'll use that one! lol

Also, for the trucks, I have plenty of detail shots from unused trucks that are on a siding. I also found a top down view of the truck on Google. I can't seem to find it any more. I'll post the file I have when I have time.
And again, thank you all for your kind support and compliments! Don't worry, I won't stop at anything to get this running in game!

Okay, another little update here! This one is mainly for showing off the completed handbrake linkage between the handle and the brakes. Also included are some detail shots of things not yet seen by you folk. Here you go!

These are MU connections on the bottom and sander pipes on the top on the B-end.

This is the opposite side of the B-end showing the MU connection with a visible valve and sander pipes.

This is the A-end with the Train Air Pipe twisting down towards the gladhand out front, and sander pipes.

Now here's an interesting one. Here shows the air connections to the left side air reservoir, but for the life of me, I have no idea what those twisty pipes are for. Does anyone know?

I'm back into the spring of things, so updates should be more frequent than before!

I believe they are condensers.

Like, cooling the air turning the moisture in the air into water, then letting the water drain out, or something else?

I am not entirely sure, but I have seen them on SW9's and they appear to be hooked to air tank.

Its intercooler piping, because air that comes out of a compressor is very very hot.
In turn, they put it before the initial Reservoir, coupled to air dryers/spit valves to keep the moisture from entering the tanks.
