Chassis Design
The chassis consists of many individual parts such as driver wheels and axels, frame parts, brake hangers, boiler mounts and the front platform. At this time the first 2/3rds of the chassis are completed.
The remaining rear portion of the chassis is planned following design of the trailing truck that fits under that portion. The trailing truck mates with support springs that are attached to the rear frame portion. The springs ride on the journals at the end of the wheels. Additionally, the two protrusions at the rear of the truck mate with a centering spring device mounted on the frame.
