SAL Class H-1 Dropbottom Gondola (HO SCALE)
Ok, so I was scrolling though facebook (yes I'm old) and i saw this so here you go!!
When assembling, please note:
- Heat the trucks before inserting the wheels if they're cold.
- If you use off the shelf trucks you need to make your own screw holes and whatnot, but they work great still.
- The shells can just be hot glued to the chassis, it works and is durable.
- Everything needed for the couplers is included exept attachment (screws, toothpicks, glue, what have you)
- You can use screws, but cutting toothpicks to size, inserting, and pushing them in with pliers works great
- I recommend kaydee 148s or some similar variety, but most couplers work.
- Use whatever 33 inch wheels you prefer, but I recommend metal ones, preferably intermountain
- For the chains, take any .25mm wire and run it through the holes on the mechs or take some model chain thats fine enough and glue it how you wish/
