Are the TMW 201 "50 ton Dalman 2-level trucks" suitable for this car as modelled by the Westerfield kit?
Thanks in advance, Steve Lucas. |

Actually, the Bx-11s had Dalman 2-level trucks, for which the TMW HO scale trucks are dead on. The Bx-12s, built a year later, had Dalman 1-level trucks, which were made only briefly ca. 1930-'32, and have never been modeled in HO. However, the TMW #202s are quite close - as close as you're going to get. Richard Hendrickson |

Or use the TMW-202 trucks and number the car as a Bx-11. There's only a slight difference in the ends and a couple correctable grab irons, and the trucks will be correct. That's what I'm going to do <g>.

Curious, I take it a lot of us have seen Andy Sperandeo's nice article in
the latest MR on building a resin kit, with the model being an AT&SF BX11/BX12? Jerry Michels |

Thanks! I'll get a pair of the TMW 202's for this car, and number/detail it as a Bx-11. I'll have to read the Westerfield instructions a bit more closely. Steve Lucas. --- In STMFC@..., Richard Hendrickson <rhendrickson@...> wrote:

I'll get a pair of the #202 trucks and finish the car as a Bx-11. Good thing that you now have Canadian suppliers. I picked your trucks up at Terry Link's booth at a train show 100 miles west of Toronto yesterday. Very nice work. I'd read much about them, but not seen any until yesterday. By the way, it's been pointed out to me that the #201 trucks are a good match for the trucks used on CN car orders from 1929 to at least the mid-1930's.

I've attached my list of Dalman 2-level users. As far as I've learned, CN's purchases of Dalman 2-level trucks seems to have been limited to cars built in 1929. After that, for a few years, CN was buying 1-level Dalmans and Symington increased spring capacity trucks. In all cases, these trucks had the Barber Lateral Motion devices. Principle info I have for the above CN cars is Stafford Swain's box car article in June 1994 Railmodel Journal and his reefer article in June 2001 RMC. Wish that there were enough people wanting a 1-level Dalman, Brian TMW ----- Original Message -----

If I knew what I needed them for, I might want them. ATSF and CN are all I
know so far. Brian J. Carlson, P.E. Cheektowaga NY From: STMFC@... [mailto:STMFC@...] On Behalf Of Brian Leppert Sent: Monday, January 11, 2010 12:47 PM To: STMFC@...
