Contents 1 pair.<\/p>\n<p>The Arch Bar Truck is typical of these trucks from around the turn of the century. Despite the age of these trucks, they saw more than seventy years of service in some applications. The arch bar was allowed in interchange service until about 1941. On railroads that were not common carriers such as logging or other industrial lines, this restriction of the trucks did not apply since the trucks did not operate on rails other than the owner&#8217;s. The Northern Pacific, for example, used truss rod frame maintenance of way cars fitted with arch bar trucks well into the early 1970&#8217;s. Many logging railroads also used them at least until then.<\/p>\n<p>Truck Features<br \/>\n\u2022 Ready-To-Mount Metal Whisker\u00ae Couplers<br \/>\n\u2022 Code 110 (.110) 33&#8243; ribbed back wheels<br \/>\n\u2022 Accurate markings<br \/>\n\u2022 Incredible detail True to prototype<br \/>\n\u2022 Non-magnetic Metal wheels<br \/>\n\u2022 Highly Flexible sprung trucks<br \/>\n\u2022 Metal SideFrames &amp; Fully Sprung Bolster<br \/>\n\u2022 Smooth tracking Free rolling Contoured Insulated Axles<br \/>\n\u2022 RP-25 Free rolling wheels<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #800000;\">We carry these as they are useful as a small narrow gauge truck in 0n30 or 0-16.5<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>#503 Arch Bar Trucks with Couplers Arch Bar Trucks with Ready-To-Mount Metal Whisker\u00ae couplers.
