challenger imports trucks
Author: schneid

I have several brass passenger cars, but no trucks.  I called brasstrains and they said the chances are slim of ever finding the exact trucks.  Does anybody make trucks that are comparable to the challenger imports trucks?

thanks, paul

The Coach Yard makes very nice brass trucks. Not sure they are correct for the cars you have.

I love how Brasstrains says "slim chance you'll find an exact truck." Sorry, but this is 2022. With the advancements in 3D printing, you can get anything you want made affordably. 99% of the time this stuff looks and performs better than brass anyway.

Reach out to Plate C Models. They currently have 17 different freight car trucks available, and I'm sure if you had a particular truck, they can make it. Their website is below.

Paul, instead of asking about a brand you cant find, try telling us what the car is and what your modeling it to be. There are incredibly smart people that will know what you need and the best source. Is it heavyweight, streamline, Budd, ACF, coach, sleeper, that sort of thing.
