Does anyone know were I can get fully sprung trucks for body mounted couplers. So, sprung trucks without the coupler tongue. I know about the Accucraft trucks, but their price is a little too high for my high school budget.
It is not too hard to make your own. I do know of people who have built US style ‘arch bar bogies’ from brass (K+S) and others who have built UK style ‘fox plate bogies’ from plastic sheeting. Both are equally at home on my layout. The sprining arrangement can either be 'modified; ballpoint pen springs or brass strip. regards ralph
I see you are having similar problems as me. I can’t build anything more w/out drivers. Finding a brass or copper tube about 4 inches across is a chalange in itself. It may be a while. How did those trucks you showed me work on that guy’s layout?
