Pair of trucks with the code 88 semi-scale wheel profile (the 2XX series). Pair of sideframes with brake beam/shoes, LESS wheelsets (the 0XX series). For instance, a pair of Dalman 2-level trucks w LM device and code 88 wheels would be #202. A fat wheeled 40-50 ton Archbar truck would be #103. A 70- ton truck w/o wheels would be #010. The info for these trucks is available on-line at Jim Haye's Sunshine Models Web Site. 001 Dalman 2-level 50-ton cast steel truck w/o lateral motion device 002 Dalman 2-level 50-ton cast steel truck w lateral motion device 003 40-50 ton Archbar, 5'6" wb. 004 Bettendorf swing motion caboose truck 005 Barber-Bettendorf swing motion truck 006 Buckeye cast steel truck w. spring planks 007 Double-Truss 50- ton truck 008 Coil-Elliptic cast steel truck 009 Barber Lateral Motion 50-ton truck 010 ACF 70-ton plain journal bearing truck 011 5'0" old-time Archbar truck Price for the complete trucks are $6.50/pair, either style of wheelset.

No new starts, but he is getting closer to completing his USRA Andrews truck.
Looks like a few more weeks. -Andy ________________________________ From: "tmolsen@..." <tmolsen@...> To: STMFC@...

Unless the heat treater company screws up (and that has happened before), I should have a USRA 50-ton Andrews truck available very soon. You're on my mailing list, and all of those will know first. Brian Leppert Tahoe Model Worl\ks Carson City, NV --- In STMFC@..., <tmolsen@...> wrote:

A Bettendorf T-Section truck from me is highly doubtful. With the kind of truck mold I have, which produces a one piece complete truck molding, I just could not do a T-Section justice. Kadee's design, where the side frames are separate castings and the parting line is the frame's center line, is the way to go. Brian Leppert Tahoe Model Works Carson City, NV |

What I'd really like to see is a T-Section Andrews truck, produced from about 1912 through 1917. This sideframe has never been produced, but it was widely used on a number of railroads through the fifties.

Brian,
Have you given any thought in producing a Two-Level Dalman with an Andrews sideframe casting? Tom Olsen 7 Boundary Road, West Branch Newark, Delaware, 19711-7479 (302) 738-4292 tmolsen@... |

Yes, I've given them a thought, and that's why I don't buy kits needing them <g>. But then, that's not many kits.

Now is a good time to chime in, "But I'll take six pair!" As if it would do any good. Keep up the good work, Brian. Those who feel the "need" those trucks maybe ought to put together an order that makes economic sense. Dennis |

OK: what cars had Dalman-Andrews trucks? I've never seen a full listing.

SAL boxcars, class B-5 (SAL 15000-16999 and rebuilds thereof) GN and SOO Line: which cars? There's mention of ACL in the literature, but I don't know of any specifics. Is this confusion with SAL? Any others? Al Brown, Melbourne, Fla. --- In STMFC@..., "brianleppert@..." <brianleppert@...> wrote:

Well,Brian,
Keep me in mind as I will take a dozen pair if you ever do them as I have not met many trucks that I did not like, especially since I have quite a few cars that need trucks! Perhaps Guy Wilber can tell us when these trucks were outlawed in interchange service. That could determine the feasibility of producing them.

That's a good question, so I took a look last night. It seems the Soo was quite enamored with this design, but only for a very short period of time; 1927-1930. Unfortunately, they only bought five groups of cars during that period: SOO 7501-7799,odd, 150 GS gons built by Pullman 7-1927. SOO 40200-40998,even, 200 boxcars built by Pullman 9-1928 SOO 41000-41398,even, 200 boxcars built by Pullman 7-1929. SOO 41400-41798,even, 200 boxcars from Siems-Stembel 7-1929. SOO 135400-135798,even, 200 boxcars from Siems-Stembel 11-1930. For a total of 950 cars. Then the reality of the Great Depression set in, and they didn't buy any more cars for the next six years. When they began buying again, they were AAR standard boxcars with AAR trucks. The boxcars built in 1928 and 1929 can be modeled with Sunshine kit #78.3. Kit #78.2 has the correct decals for the 1920 cars, but not the correct bottom supported doors. Dennis |

Brian, I was looking at blueprints the other day of two-level Dalman trucks (with you know what railroads marking in the lower right corner to sweeten things). If you need the blueprints to get started.....
