PRR G22 question
|
Elden,
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
Maybe I’m getting it backwards, but I thought that the 100 ton truck on the G22B looked like the classic PRR 2D-F8 or AAR Type Y and the 70 ton truck on the G22 is indeed the PRR Crown (Bowser). Duplicating that 100 ton truck is a challenge, because it has that deep drop. Picking my poison, I used the 50 ton 2D-P8 because of the side frame shape. Too light, not enough springs, but clearly different from the 70 ton crown on the G22. Regards, Bruce Smith Auburn, AL

So, I think there were many trucks on the G22, and yes, one of them looks like an extra beefy 6-spring 2D-F8, but like REALLY beefy. There is also a 100-ton Crown, which you see on some G22B. The 70-ton version of G22 does indeed have a 70-ton Crown, and also another 70-ton truck that also looks like a 2D-f8. It's complicated!

Here are some more "Crown" trucks, from different mfgs, and for different purposes. Elden Gatwood

Good Evening All: Above is the Railmaster brass car.The decals are from the early Westerfield kit. I was planning to swap the trucks for the Bowser truck. Any thoughts? Bill Pardie

Bill In the may 2008 issue of RMC on pages 60-65 by James Kinkaid there are 3 pictures of G22b in container service with three different crown type trucks. One is very much like the trucks on our Railmaster car with the leaf springs in the center Don Ford Cameron MO

Railmaster is S scale, not so? Did Westerfield make S scale decals?
