In line with Bruce's recommendation you can obtain Andrews trucks from several sources. Red Caboose has an Andrews Truck (#RP-5012) that should fit the bill, but it does not come with wheel sets, which you will have to supply. Here is the link to their catalog page: http://www.red-caboose.com/cgi-bin/e_catalog/catalog.cgi?&shop=redcaboose&language=eng&curr=0&session=44fcf02330c5e6a4&cart_id=19850916x12485&scale=%27HO%27&product=Parts&product_display=RP-5012 Bethlehem Car Works also makes a cast metal Andrews with their part number 1227. This is a redo of the Cape Line metal trucks with new tooling and wheel sets. It is listed in the Walthers Catalog as #718-1227 and retails for $9.95. You can also get Andrews trucks from Kadee. They come in two versions: 380-509 Standard - 1 Pair $$6.95 or their new Self-Centering version #380-553 at $6.95 per pair. The Self-Centering version may also come equipped with brake shoes. Life-Like (now Walthers) in their Proto-2000 Line has two versions of Andrews Trucks available: #920-23207 with 33" plain back wheel sets or #920-23399 with 33" ribbed back (representing chilled cast-iron ) wheel sets at $5.50 per pair. Accurail also makes Andrews trucks. They are Part #0203 at $4.98 per pair with 33" wheel sets. Here is the link for Accurail: http://www.accurail.com/accurail/ The BCW, Kadee and Life-Like Proto trucks are in the Walthers catalog so that you can see what you are looking Intermountain's website for parts does not list Andrews trucks at this time, Regards, Tom Olsen 7 Boundary Road, West Branch Newark, Delaware, 19711-7479 (302) 738-4292 tmolsen@...
