Real trains arch bar trucks

Post by wbarbe »

Did anyone take over production of Real Trains arch bar trucks?
I like the fact that they furnace braised the parts together.
Thanks

I was told that RMI took those over, but I have not tried to contact them about them. Those were nice trucks I could use a pair or something I'm working on.

I believe RMI took them over, at least the large scale part. Though the arch bars I have are not brazed. There’s some welded fabricated pieces but the side frames are held together with bolts like the big ones.
Wouldn’t hurt to call RMI and ask Bill though. Afternoons Tuesday-Friday are best
