Question! What type of truck was used on the AF Brownhoist? I've had one pretty much unmodified setting on a siding for several years. It appears that the trucks they used are tender trucks--are they too light for that size crane? I did put some ancient Rex wheelsets in the trucks and it has Kadee couplers, but dragging that thing around is like a "lead sled".
