Title: Replacement trucks for 3 axle passenger cars
Post by: GoCanes on January 16, 2012, 06:50:56 PM
Where would I find replacement trucks for the Bachmann 3 axle passenger cars (like the McKinley Explorer), with or without wheels?

Thanks

They don't have them as a seperate item.   :(

Maybe they will come out with the trucks someday.

Try the Microtrains website.  They sell (among others) six-wheel Commonwealth passenger trucks.  They come wlith optional truck-mounted couplers, and are available in black or silver.

I haven't used these, but have used their 4-wheel passenger trucks.  The trucks come with an assortment of mounting pins to fit a variety of manufacturers' cars.

Microtrains trucks have very good rolling qualities.

Thanks.  Yes, I Micro Trains rocks, I have some of their box cars, and love the way they roll.
