K4 Trailing Truck Drawing in SolidWorks

Post by davidqueener »

Gentlemen,

I got a request from a fellow making a Lionel standard gauge PRR K4 to draw up the trailing truck and Kiesel tender trucks in SolidWorks so that he can 3D print them. Since he was wanting to do this on the cheap--and since I already have an intern on hand who is learning to use SolidWorks, we put her on the job.

So far she has gotten the trailing truck frame drawn up using PRR drawing 439994C (from 1948). What we lack are the additional PRR blue prints for the journal boxes, springs, axles, wheels, and brake cylinder with rigging. I have a number of PRR drawing numbers for some of these items:

78539D TRAILER TRUCK JOURNAL BOX 1925
80460D TRAILER TRUCK WHEEL 1926
80839D TRAILER TRUCK FORGED DETAILS 1926
80840C TRAILER TRUCK ARRANGEMENT 1926
31013F TRAILER TRUCK EQUALIZER FRICTION JOINT X-11016 1908
62026D TRAILER TRUCK WITH HELICAL SPRINGS ARRGMT & DETS 1919
401406C TRAILER TRUCK AXLE BEARING ARRANGEMENT 1933
411713D TRAILER TRUCK AXLE 1937

Would any of you have any of these or related drawings scanned that you could share with us?

It is my intent, since this is largely being done as a non-commercial learning experience on the part of my intern, to share the completed trailing truck assembly model with whomever is able to help us with prototype drawings. We are drawing them in prototypical units, so that anyone can modify them to work in the real world of ride-on-scale models.

Once we get done with the K4 trailing truck, it is my intention to continue on with the 4-wheel Kiesel tender truck.

Cheers,
