That front truck is a masterpiece, does it support any of the weight of the
loco or is it held on the track purely by its own weight?

Thanks. The front truck doesn’t support any of the locos weight which isn’t
prototypical but it works. As I was building #6 I was worried that the lack of
truck support and the solid boiler would cause it to be nose heavy. I even had
boat weights ready for extra rear counter weight if necessary. But as it turned
out the loco was pretty stable with out them and gave me enough space in the cab
to try and model butterfly doors for the fire box.
