The PRECISION SCALE flat car gave me more problems with the trucks. I had to cut the brake piping and truss rods. And I've added two red Kadee washers and a piece of plastic to get the correct height.

Well, the car is painted and has got some weathering with chalk. The lettering are the dry transfers from the kit.

Two more cars were build, a PACIFIC COAST box car from La Belle (now a weight of 60 g) and a PRECISION SCALE flat car (now a weight of 45g).
I solved my problem with free swiveling trucks. I mounted the coupler to the correct position and added Kadee trucks with Kadee bolsters.

You see the code 40 rails ???

More work, with switch stands.
