I have a pair of really nice caboose trucks that I want to sell. Problem is I don't know who made them and I can't remember where or when I purchased them. I think they are an Accucraft/AML product. There are no markings on the trucks other than Bettendorf. I believe they are 1/29 with metal side frames and bolsters. Really good quality. If they are Accucraft I can't identify a model, they would have been used on. I'm going to ask $55.00 for them if anyone is interested.
Greg,
I have a pair of USA caboose trucks from the center cupola on my Santa Fe kitbash. They are different. Here is what AML's 1/29 tender trucks look like, these are different.
Stumps me too. They are really nice trucks. They would look good on any 1/29 caboose. Caboose type trucks are hard to come by. A 1/29 ruler measures 5' 6" on center between axles. Maybe someone will want them even if they don't know where they came from.
Greg,
Looks that way. The trucks I have on my Santa Fe caboose that I thought were USA are not. Well, sort of. Now that my brain has been jogged I remember a few years ago that there were some 3D printed leaf springs offered that would fit the stock USA Bettendorf trucks. That is what I used on the caboose. Now I'm thinking I will replace the trucks on the caboose with the actual USA caboose trucks. I still want to sell my detailed Santa Fe GP40 and the unique kitbashed Santa Fe Ce-8 wide vision caboose as a set. I probably will offer them here on MLS when I get time. I have been very busy with layout tear down and local sales of rolling stock and locos.
