Mornin', All - a pal of mine over here, also a member of the G1MRA, has got a project going to build some passenger stock for the Nacional de Mexico NG railway he is constructing.

This will use 1/32 scale car-bodies running on 32mm gauge track, and the best match he can find for the basic truck is the MTH caboose truck with the comfort leaf springs.

Here in UK trying to find anything from MTH is basically pretty difficult anyhow, but I wondered it any of you had any experience getting anything out of Mr Wolf by way of spares, before I waste my time asking him. From what I have read on this site - mainly 4449's posts - his company can be rather less than helpful when it comes to bits and pieces.

TIA

I gather you want MTH O-gauge caboose trucks. Have you (a) checked the MTH catalogs, or (b) emailed MTH? That would be my first step, well before anything else.

Hi tac and Mark.

If you let me have the details I may be able to get them for you as I am an MTH Dealer over here in the U.K. My company is called Anglian-Gauge-One but I deal with O-Gauge quite often as MTH,of course,does both scales.Let me enquire through my dealer's portal and perhaps I will be lucky.

Regards
David

Great Stuff, Mark - thank you! /DesktopModules/NTForums/themes/mls/emoticons/w00t.gif I have copied this post to my pal in the hope that he will get in touch with you himself and explain exactly what it is he wants, and no, he doesn't want 0 gauge trucks, but Gauge 1 trucks that he can cut down to the required width.

You call the company Anglia-Gauge-One - does that mean that you operate in East Anglia [where we both live]?

Thanks again.

Might look into New Bright trucks, they are about 1/32nd scale, might be able to work with them some.

New Bright - not sold in UK.

Leastways, I've never seen 'em.

They are just those cheap plastic G scale sets. I think they should be imported over there under some name or the other. They always have garish paint schemes with fake gold handrails/etc. There are a couple of other names here that are basically the same stuff. Scientific is one, I think, not sure of the other.
