Wood Arm trucks
Posted by Anonymous on Tuesday, May 22, 2007 2:57 PM

Hi Y'all

 I'm looking to purchase some wood arm trucks from the group thats in their spares.

 I'll be glad to pay for the trucks and s&H , if the have 33" wheeles mosrs the better.

My train is a G scale with a 1" 9/16 space between the inner flanges of the wheels.the trucks that are on it now are the hook and loop 1986 New Bright plastic, 7/8" 8 spoke plastic wheels. 

 Any assistance would be great thanks.

Yours in service

I do not model Civil War era but the late 1800s. This group might help you.

Possibly this group also.

If you ever fall over in public, pick yourself up and say “sorry it’s been a while since I inhabited a body.” And just walk away.

Move your question over to the garden railways forum. That is where the G scale guys hang out.
