Subject: {S-Scale List} Re: 3-Axle Trucks,
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".
