American Flyer 70 Ton Roller Bearing Trucks w/Scale Wheels

Lionel introduced a totally new cylindrical hopper car in 2013 for its line of American Flyer S gauge trains. They were done in a host of Union Pacific “Heritage” and Norfolk Southern “Legacy” railroad names. These cars were aimed at the S scalers with 70 ton trucks having rotating bearing caps and scale wheel flanges. Suffice it to say that the cars were not very well received by the scale operators and the high rail/tinplate operators couldn’t use them because of the scale wheel flanges. So what do you do with the cars? Convert them to high rail and that is what we did. Our inventory of cylindrical hopper cars now has the high rail trucks (American Flyer 6-49081 or 49081). This leaves us with a bunch of scale trucks that are being made available to those who can use them. They are new and unused with a 0.175" diameter mounting hole. Please make sure these will work for you before committing to buy.

The trucks are well detailed with functional springs and have the tinplate knuckle couplers. The coupler on each truck can be removed by removing two screws that attach the coupler bracket to the truck frame.

If you have any questions regarding any specifics, please do ask. It is the eBay way.
