But, a major retrofit of the bolster is probably required. Cheaper and easier to replace the cars with Walthers streamlined cars found on Ebay. Better looking as well. IHC did import some excellent metal trucks some years ago. You can still find them on Ebay and could be a better fit.

But if they are like most of IHC and AHM cars, they're foobies.

Will these also work for Branchline heavyweight cars? Victor A. Baird http://www.erstwhilepublications.com Date: 04/28/18 13:41 Re: IHC and AHM Passenger car truck replacement Author: mmosher I don't know about Branchline cars, I don't have any so can't see if they will fit.
Michael Mosher Millville, NJ Date: 04/28/18 17:32 Re: IHC and AHM Passenger car truck replacement Author: wabash2800 I have a couple of AHM RPO cars so will order a couple and look at the Branchline cars while I'm at it. I also have a Bachmann car I started a kitbash with. I know how to adapt them but your parts would be quicker.
