why aren't diesel truck sideframes available?

[jward]

I have been looking through the parts lists and wondered why you can't buy the truck sideframes as separate items? there are plenty of locomotives which were built with trucks off trade in locomotives. examples would be the gp30s and gp35s of soo line, frisco, southern and gm&o, all of which used trucks from traded in alco fa's instead of the standard emd trucks. the b23-7s for conrail also used alco trucks, and the ones for seaboard coast line used trucks from old emd gp7s. if I want to accurately model any of these, I have to buy a whole set of replacement trucks when all I need id the sideframes.

would selling the sideframes as separate items, for those of us who want to model specific locomotives be something Bachmann will consider in the future?
