H10 tender work

Nice work Mr. Ray . I will need to review when I engage my next project . This fix is much better than the old one I did with a HObbyline tender and PSC Buckeyes ! There was , and is a price difference there . THE PSC's as always , nice product , but not ever cheap ! Thanks for sharing with us Ray . Henry H.
 


Thanks Henry,
?I used the Athearn metal Buckeye trucks on my Hobbyline/Simms Berkshire.

Another 6 wheel Commonwealth truck option are the ones made by Gilbert/American Flyer for their HO scale NYC Hudson 4-6-4. I happened upon a lot of five pairs of them on Ebay which I picked up for about $12. Only drawback with them is you can't add pickups to both sides like Ray did with the Varney's because the wheels on the insulated side are plastic. The side frame of the Gilbert trucks, although they are Commonwealth, are of a somewhat different design and are slightly smaller overall than the Varney's. In fact, the Gilbert trucks are of the same design as trucks Mantua made for the Franklin Mint Hudson. The Gilbert trucks ride much lower than the Varneys so you need to add washers if you want to use them, as I did, with the Varney frame. I believe they have 33" wheels instead of Varney's 36". ??
? ? Anyway, nice use of the Hobbyline tender for the project. Has the right rivet pattern and shape for the H-10 tender. enjoying watching this come together!
