CB&Q SM-18 36' stock car

[ConducTTor]

Ian I'm a bit confused about payment. How do we make the $20/car deposit? Where do we do that on their site? Or do we email them?

[TheKnighTT]

Checked with Leadville again, payment can be made by each individual by paypal to - Leadvilledesigns@gmail.com

Sent my down payment and now fingers crossed.

Have been 'off' for a couple of weeks, so lots of catching up to do;-

first up - latest update from Leadville

>> the etchings were redrawn and sent out for processing a couple weeks back. I am expecting the sheets in house in about 3 weeks. When they are in, I will revise the 3D prints for the frames, reprint the decals and then reach out to you with an update. <<

To me, without asking, this sounds as if it will before Christmas.

Ian, when they redraw the frame, are they going to adapt it suit your bogies?

[TiTan downunder]

Didn't think of that one.
Not sure what he means by revise the frame so will check.

Would be ideal if we can get it set up correctly for the bogies/trucks and couplers.

One question - for all of you - If possible do you want it set up the European standard wheelsets or the finer flanged US RP-25 wheelsets that I normally use?
OK 2nd question - what couplers - 715's, 1023/25, ???

Will check with Leadville and see just what he means. I can send the bogies, couplers, piece of track and height gauge so everything should be
perfect, if that's what he wants.

Hi Ian, i prefer Kadee #713 or #714 couplers and Modmüller RP25 7mm wheelsets. For the coupler height i use the NMRA standard.

[MacG]

I prefer MTL #1015. He should put the smaller hole and everyone is happy. I think we Germans are self-sufficient when it comes to buying wheel sets. But I also use the RP25.

[TheKnighTT]

Same, RP25 and MTL #1025.
