Hello All out there and thank you for reading ...
I am looking for a set of 3 axle freight trucks .. does not matter the make ... I know that they make the 3 axle trucks for Passenger cars but I have not found any for the freight cars. I need them for a flat car. I looked in Walthears and all I can find is Eastern Car works ... I don't trust glueing those together and holding going down the rails. I would rather go for a metal set. Commonwealth would be the best but at this point any style will do. Or maybe a passenger set that is close to frieght would work. ( I'll take suggestions). I know they have 3 axle trucks on flat cars.but finding the good replacements are like pulling teeth. Any help would be greatfull.

What you are looking for are called Buckeye trucks. Athearn puts them under their crane and I believe PRecision Scale makes them in brass. They should both be in the Walthers catalog.

Probably because Walthers is no longer the distributor for Athearn. Check out a crane ata hobby shop. Walthers also has Buckeye trucks inlcuded with their depressed center flar car.
