1.5 scale RTR Arch Bar Trucks with brakes
1.5 scale RTR Arch Bar Trucks with brakes
Is anyone selling 1 1/2 scale RTR arch bar trucks preferably with brakes? Allen models makes a great arch bar truck but I’m not in a position right now to try and machine them.
Thanks

I wanted those but can’t seem to get availability from them. I suspect they are busy
Re: 1.5 scale RTR Arch Bar Trucks with brakes
I have looked there but they seem to only be offering the 2 1/2 and 3 3/4 scale stuff
I know they bought real trains but I haven’t found those products on their site. Am I missing them
Thanks

I noticed that too after going thru their website. I would call them as they may still have inventory for the 1 1/2" scale.

If you do find a reliable source for these, please post it here. I will need a pair for my own project eventually. I'm in the same situation as you, I could machine a set but I'm willing to trade the time and effort it'd take for the cost.

Perhaps if several people order them from RMIRailworks, they will get busy making several sets.
Quality often can spur on such work.

didn't mountain car make them years ago?
Wonder if they would do a batch if there was a order of 5-10 sets?

Mountain Car did make Arch Bar trucks years ago. They have been gone from the catalog for well over 20 years now, from what I recall.

Allen Models makes some nice archbar trucks but they need to be machined. I did find one pair RTR and bought them. If I want more I will have to find someone to machine them. And need to figure out how to add brakes
