Dalman trucks (was Eastern Car Works Trucks)


Tim O'Connor
 

Then you are in luck, Jon, because someone at Naperville was showing
off a beautiful newly tooled HO Dalman two-level delrin truck model, with
two styles of bolster end inserts, and properly located brake shoes/beams.
I forget his name (!) but he used to work for Model Die Casting and is
now setting out on his own. He wants to sell them with .088 wheels but
I encouraged him to sell just the trucks in large quantities :-) I need at
least 25 pairs of 'em...

I would like to get a bunch of Dalman two-level but have always felt that the
Red Ball (Cape Line) and Eastern Car Works trucks just didn't look very good.
I would like to see a plastic one piece truck at the level of Accurail or IM!

That would be Brian Leppert, and the truck looked terrific.

Ron, I spoke with a good friend of Brian Leppert tonight and here is the
latest on the Dalman two level trucks. Brian is experiencing some production
equipment problems that MAY take up to two or three mobths to overcome. Best guess
is we will see the trucks in production by spring of next year.

Gentlemen,

New HO Dalman two-level trucks will be available in two styles--with Barber Lateral Motion device detail and without. These trucks will be Celcon (similar to
Delrin) one piece moldings with snap-in brake shoe detail and metal .110" wheelsets. Bolster height will match NMRA's RP 23 (5/16").

Unfortunately, my CNC milling machine became unreliable just before Naperville, before tooling was finished. A new machine will be ordered soon, but I'm expecting almost three months until delivery. Tooling for the truck will resume then.

Are you taking orders for the trucks now?
Will you sell direct or only through distributors/retailers?
Would you like payment in advance to help with the new CNC machine?

Gene,
Thanks for the offer, but I don't want to take orders until the trucks are ready to ship. They'll be available direct and from dealers ( lots of dealers, I hope).
