In these monthly updates, we have recently covered the exterior and interior of coach 9. Let’s now turn our attention to what the coach will be sitting on, its trucks.

Many castings went into the construction of the trucks, including the wheels.

While there are not many photos of the construction process, we can show you the finished product. All that remains to be completed is the installation of the vacuum brake system.

Meanwhile, we are excited to announce that we are rapidly closing in on our goal of raising $120,000 to Finish Coach 9 to the Nines thanks to a $25,000 gift in memory of a recently passed supporter. Help put us over the top at https://wwfry.org/coach9.
