Can someone please explain trucks to me? Its my understanding that in the 70s, all US rolling stock had to use a certain type of truck and that thay type is still in use today. What is it called? I've been fortunate enough to recieve a lot of free N Scale rolling stock but most of it is modeled for the 1940s-1960s and has a different type of truck. What is that type of truck called? <br /> <br />My plan is to eventually have a modern era layout. How much of this stuff can I convert? If they don't come with modern trucks, does that mean they are too old to use realistically on a modern layout or are there examples of rolling stock built in the 60s and 70s still operating today (with new trucks)?
