Wheelsets
1. Remove the wheelsets from the packaging. For the best looking
car, the wheelsets should be painted. Now is the time to paint
as the wheelsets can not be removed from the trucks later like
most other trucks you are used to.
2. We highly recommend washing the wheelsets in soapy water to
remove any residue from the manufacturing process prior to
painting. Thoroughly dry the wheelsets.
3. Paint the wheelsets. While brush painting is acceptable here,
airbrushing works and looks much better. For a newer look, use a rust color with more orange
hue. If you want an older look, use a darker rust color. There is no absolute right or wrong rust
color.
4. Set aside for use shortly.

1. Remove the Span Bolsters from Bag A. The 2 halves and steel insert are put together for
shipping, but not glued. Separate the 2 halves and place the steel insert into the slot of the
bolster side with the pins as shown below.
2. Using medium viscosity CA apply a liberal bead along
a flat mating surface of the span bolster without the
steel insert. Use a toothpick if needed to spread the
CA along to entire mating surface.
