To support the plywood, a framework must be constructed. The size of the beams used varies with the length they must support and the strength needed.
Steam locomotives and early diesels usually carried rerailers on hooks on the tender trucks or frame (steam locomotive) or on the frame of a diesel.
Carbody unit or cab unit (US): A locomotive which derives its structural strength from a bridge-truss design framework in the sides and roof, which cover the full width of the locomotive. It refers to both A units and B units.
All-welded box-frame bogies with some steering capability are currently the fashion in Europe. Good design is crucial to good riding, although track condition is also very important in giving a good ride.
The bents may be of the piled or of the frame type. When of framed timbers, metal or reinforced concrete they may involve two or more tiers in their construction.
Some show two or more additions in one frame. Look at them, break them down and decide which addition you want to add first.
Look at the final layout to see which parts of the layout will not be changed by expansion and additional track.
Carefully check the underframe, the back side of sideframes, any place you can see a parting line. This is extremely important along the sides of the coupler boxes! Be careful not to remove the ears that the coupler covers clip over.
After glueing the casting to the frame, I tested the loco on some track and noticed that the leading truck would not navigate any corners. This happened for two reasons.
Now very carefully frame the windows and doorway. To finish off the windows inside, use black thread gluing first a piece vertically and then a piece horizontally.
Continue by gluing the sensors for whistle and bell to the truck frame so that they are in-board of the wheels and no more than one-eighth inch (3 mm) above the rails.
Axle bearings make dubious connections to truck frames. The bolster to frame contact is another possible problem. Connections at both ends of the drawbar are also places for OHM BUGS to lurk.
Lift the black running board treads off the frame. Pop the metal tabs off the back of the coupler housing, slide the black coupler pin out and remove the Rapido couplers. Lift the cab off the shell. Remove all clear plastic lights and windows. Voila! ...

World War I spawned a brief flurry of wood-and-steel composite hoppers (and the N&W's famously unsuccessful wood-frame hoppers) and possibly spurred Southern's conversion of their "early standard" hoppers into Seley-style composite cars in the ...
Well Tank : Some steam locomotive carry their water supply in a tank set between the locomotive frames. As this greatly restricts the tank size, many locomotives with well tanks also had small side tanks.
