Has anyone assembled a trailing trucks kit from Precision scale? I questioned precision about the yoke I got in the kit, but no answer. The wheel section and back is no problem, but the yoke section I have no clue how to assemble or if I have the right parts. I can take more pictures! Thanks, Don

Doesn't look correct to me. What kit number is it?

Finally got Precision Scale involved! Some thing is not right- where do the equalizer bars attach? Should have help in Am. Thanks
Good luck! They may not know the answer. Many of those parts started with Kemtron. Your castings aren't set up for operating equalizing bars. Using those side frames require you to cut off most of the bar, insert them into the little slots on the front of the castings and solder in place. You should also solder the shortened bars to the tongue. The side frame casting meant to have operating equalization have slots in the bottom for the bars to fit into.
Doesn't work out with PSC? I can assist.
