T62s x8 N scale 1845 Eaton&Gilbert iron pass truck

8 N scale, iron frame passenger car trucks used by Eaton and Gilbert carbuilders of Troy, New York, probably a Williams patent design. These unequalized trucks equipped a sample car sent to the Wurttemberg Railways in 1845, of which a contemporary model exists in the Deuteches Museum. Mounts with a #80 or 90 screw and requires 33-36" low or new standard profile wheelsets with 13.7mm (.540") axles (MT, FVM etc.). Spoked wheels from the 2mm Society are most accurate but must have ~13.7mm axles. Clean with alcohol. Part T62s.
