Kadee 503 Arch Bar Trucks with Ready-To-Mount Couplers

Standard Arch Bar Trucks with Ready-To-Mount Couplers (one pair) Metal Fully Sprung Equalized Trucks with Ready-To-Mount Metal Couplers Mounts with a #2 or 2-56 screw. 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. The Northern Pacific, for example, used truss rod frame maintenance of way cars fitted with arch bar trucks well into the early 1970’s. Many logging railroads also used them at least until then. « less
