USA Trains 45mm Gauge Power Trucks

These self-contained power trucks are used by USA trains under their range of american outline diesels, and make ideal and economical running gear for either modern diesel and electric outline locomotives, or older units fitted with tramway skirts.

We are designing them into some of our own products, and are also pleased offer the four-wheeled versions to scratchbuilders and kitbashers.

The units pick up on all wheels, as well as the slider shoes, and drive on both axles. All three types are fitted with 28.5mm diameter wheels (rolling diameter over tread). Three lengths are available :

Short - 71.7mm wheelbase (from USA Train 44tonner locomotive)
Medium - 84mm wheelbase (from USA Trains NW2 locomotive)
Long - 94.5mm wheelbase (from USA Trains F3, GP7/9 and GP38-2 locomotives)

Ordering Details :

Trucks weigh between 370g and 470g each even before packing, so please add £4 P&P for each truck - all consignments are sent royal mail signed for / independant courier depending on weight.

For modellers fitting their own cosmetic sideframes to these units, our 3mm bore brass top hat bushes (stock number 150-0031) are a perfect match for the ends of axles, and will protect even card or styrene sideframes from wear.
