So in my new adventures in CAD-as-code design, screenshot for a current WIP for a CBQ Wood Frame Passenger Truck No 7 is below.

I used build123d to construct the model in Python, and FreeCAD and jdegenstein's fork of jmwright's fork of CadQuery's CQ-editor for visualisation

I got this far using CBQ Diagram No's 8621-A and 9915-B, and CAD render of a very detailed model from Dale Grice, who way back when built an excellent 1.6 scale set of the trucks.

The end goal is to make them good enough to 3D print for N Scale (1:16) for use with metal wheelsets, and use on some kitbashed and/or scratchbuilt Q waycars ("cabooses".
