Title: On30 freight car trucks
Post by: ebtbob on December 08, 2007, 07:08:59 AM
Hey Mr.  B.

      Has Bachmann ever given any consideration to product freight car trucks like those used on many of the narrow gauge railroads in the western part of the US.   I admit I do not know the name of that style,  but it would be the trucks with the outside edge braking system.

Hi, Bob!
I think you mean Carter Bros. trucks. I'll pass along the request.
Happy Holidays!

Thanks Mr. B.

       Since I posted this first note,  I have also seen a picture of truck that was called and arch bar.....unlike the ones that I am used to,  that also had the brake beams on the outside end of the wheels.
