<p>Im looking for a 4 wheel passenger truck with roller bearings. </p> <p>It is similar to the Pullman 8' truck here: </p> <p><a href="https://www.walthers.com/pullman-standard-8-wheelbase-heavyweight-4-wheel-trucks-black-1-pair">https://www.walthers.com/pullman-standard-8-wheelbase-heavyweight-4-wheel-trucks-black-1-pair</a></p> <p>But with two main differences. The truck I am looking for is a roller bearing truck, with similar spring placement. The bar that drops down below the springs (what is that called) is on the outside of the truck vice the inside as shown on the linked truck. Other than that, these trucks look very similar. There were not any snubbers on the sideframes or generators.</p> <p>For reference, these trucks were found on ten 68 seat coaches built for the Boston and Maine and Maine Central railroad joint order in 1931. They are heavyweight steel coaches produced by Osgood Bradley (they are not the lightweights commonly associated with Osgood Bradley).</p> <p>My apologies if this is a repeat post of my own, I couldnt find it in my history.</p> <p>Edit:</p> <p>A description of the car can be found here:</p> <p><a href="http://www.faracresfarm.com/jbvb/rr/bmrr/passenger.html#DeLuxe">http://www.faracresfarm.com/jbvb/rr/bmrr/passenger.html#DeLuxe</a></p> <p> </p>
