Brass Kit

unpainted

Wheel center: 11'. 36" wheels. Sprung, six-wheel, wood-beam, drop-equalizer Pullman truck is a kit. The detail and flexing action are quite nice. The truck can be modernized to represent an early all-steel truck with separate pedestals by removing the cast-in bolt heads on the top beam. Ed notes that this kit of lost-wax brass castings is rather challenging to build, requiring filing and bending of parts to get a smooth rolling truck. The bolsters are made of an insulating material, and come wired for lighting. The various sub-numbers of the product IDs are for the different spring tensions.
