Folks,
         Would not the bolts in the trucks be square heads in the old days? Those hex heads appear too modern to me!

I hope the new trucks for #9 would be historically correct! Jackson & Sharp did build good narrow gauge trucks since there are still so many around.

The 1904 J&S truck drawings we are using show hex headed bolts.

Thanks

I made some comments on the December 28 Work Reports About square/hex nuts.

Jason has definitively answered.
