Finally,
an N Scale truck your models will be proud to ride on! These all-new,
accurately designed trucks feature the extreme attention to detail
you've come to know from BLMA Models. And, these trucks are factory
equipped with awesome, fine-scale metal wheels. Can you hear the
"clickity-clack" yet? We can!
The Prototype
American Steel Foundries (generally referred to as ASF) has been
a major producer of freight car trucks for over a century. To
this day, the ASF truck designs, specifically the 'Ride Control'
family, are a common site under railcars all across North America.
Generally speaking, many freight cars after the transition era
use, or still use, this 70-Ton truck design with 33" wheels.
The Model
As with all BLMA Models products, this project started with blueprints,
measurements, and a number of close-up photos. Designed to the
highest standards possible, the N Scale models feature all of
the detail of the prototype, and ride on machine-cut metal wheels
with a prototypically thin appearance. These trucks are perfect
for transition era freight cars!
