check out these drivers Vintage HO Brass GE ALCO AAR Diesel Power Trucks

I have 3 alco road switchers and I have seen the side frames for $27 plus shipping

so I had to get these, there in my $30 range I had a post on these road units but looks like it went south …

I hope to get a nice all brass alco sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet

I’m told they came from a Perfect Scale Models ALCO C415

PSM ALCO came out in the late 60s

I think the trucks are the earliest of early Athearn/Globe diesel trucks from the mid-late 50s, but with different sideframes attached. It could be the C-415 described had a Globe drive.
