While we are petitioning Kadee for unsprung trucks, let us ask them to modify their truck bolsters so that we can add the brakeshoe clip-ons that they make for the PS-1 box cars that they make. I was able to get about 200 of the clip-ons from them several years ago. When they arrived we divided them up amongst three of us. Unfortunately, they no longer sell them in bulk, but in packages with enough for two cars. It would be nice to have them available with the trucks with the bolsters modified for them from the beginning. At present you have trucks with brake beams cast on, but no shoes and a big air gap between the truck sideframe and the wheelsets.
