Rex never made an Andrew’s truck with flexible leaf springs. ?The early 2-4-4T Suburban kit (my first loco build ar age 14, in 1953) had a Cult leaf-sprung Andrews trailing truck. ?And the cast wheels were robbed on the back side.

(These somewhat large Culp Andrews trucks are nearly dead ringers for the Benner’s Crown trucks found beneath PRR Class H21 quad hopper cars.)

A few years later I reworked my Suburban into a true NYC Class D2-a. ?Main changes: shortening the coal bunker and altering cab appearance. ?No photos, but Dave Jasper currently owns the loco.
