John: You would find them friction trucks in the late 1980s on older cars (freight cars had to be retired after 40 years) so a car with a few years left would keep them unless they broke down. By my memory, you could easily find 15 or 20% friction trucks among freight cars in the 80s. cheers ----- Original Message ----- From: John Albee To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, October 23, 2012 4:57 PM Subject: Re: {S-Scale List} S Scale Loco & Supply new stainless steel wheels
My era is late 80's so friction trucks would have been long gone. Sent from my iPhone On Oct 23, 2012, at 10:35 AM, Alex Binkley <[email protected]> wrote: If you look around they are. SHS, AM, DPH and SWWM all offer them as well. PRS had them. There's probably others. BTW, what's your era?

Can't tell for sure from the photos... looks like 110 to me. Would be REALLY nice if they were code 88 with the profiled back. One of the HO companies is now making such wheels... can't remember who right now...

These will be available shortly, but give it a look now to see how nice they are.
