Product Description
This is an Fn3 (1:20.3) scale truck side frame, based off of the cast steel vulcan trucks used under the hoppers and boxcars on the East Broad Top Railroad in central Pennsylvania. These trucks have also found their way to other three foot gauge lines across the country, including the Denver and Rio Grande, Tweetsie, White Pass, and Sumpter Valley. This is one side frame, so you'll need to buy two to complete the model (four per car), and supply a piece of bar stock to connect the two. It is designed to use Bachmann Wheelsets. Space is provided above the axle pocket for the inclusion of a simple bushing, fabricated by the modeler, out of sheet metal, if so desired.
