I'm to novice in TSM to give you a good answer.I find a good tutorial on all aspects of building a loco with a page specialy on wheels and bogies. URL : http://home.cogeco.ca/~v1perfan/index.htmlI have an other good one but it's in french. I learn a lot with these two tutorials. I build the frame and I work on the wheels and the truck presently for a wagon. Hope this information help you in your project.

I don't have a lot of time right now--so here's a little quick and dirty on the wheel wells. First off, and a major shortcoming of TSM is that it doesn't support boolean operations. In 3d canvas you would make a shape like your wheel well and then subtract it from the carbody. No can do in TSM. So what to do? You need to model the skirt separately and then join it to the body. This quick example shows solid shapes the width of the floor. But you could have just as easily made the shapes and then pasted one on each side. Hope this gives you an idea.Dave
