Endo / Precision at one time made an HO self powered truck. Also thought that NWSL did as well but you can never find anything on their crummy website. Are any of these still around and if not who makes a quality self powered truck that could be used on a GP9, F7 and U28B. Thanks

NWSL still makes theirs last I checked. The Walthers website still lists them in stock.

Tenshodo still offer their "SPUD" power truck, and there's an Australian company that offer something similar called the "Black Beetle" - both have good reviews. Not sure of availability over there but there are a few stockists over here - try http://www.dckits.co.uk/ who seem to have both. Hope this helps!

I have a SPUD under my corrdior metroliners. They are very high speed at the top end. WIth no space for any gearing you might want to carefully consider where to use one.
