Hi all,
We have a new set of Buckeye Heavyweight Freight Truck kits available. Each kit makes two trucks, so just order one kit for the pair. The kit comes with plans and all castings. McMaster Carr part numbers for springs and bearings are provided in the drawings. These trucks were designed and patterned by master model builder Ken Schroeder.
Link: https://allenmodels.com/buckeye-trucks.html
Photos of the rough castings will be available soon. In the mean time we have more photos of the completed trucks (including photos where the truck is turned upside-down) on the website page.
Cheers,
-Mike

Hmmm. If the center distance between axle and end is 16.5" from either end, I'm having a little trouble understanding how the overall length can be less than the sum of the two. What am I missing?

Wise people talk because they have something to say. Fools talk because they have to say something.
