HOn3 D&RGW Passenger Car Trucks 5'0"WB KIT# 5002A, plastic 1 pair per kit, factory packaged.

This is the D&RGW Standard (5'0" wheel base) Narrow Gauge PASSENGER CAR TRUCK in use FROM 1881 TO 1981 and on restored or operational cars on tourist railroads today (Durango & Silverton, Cumbers & Toltec and others). 1 pair per package. This is an injection molded styrene plastic kit for these trucks. Manufactured by the Model Railroad General Store, part # 5002A. The kit is designed to use the plastic wheel/axle sets supplied or, purchaser (you) supplies, Grandt wheel/axle sets with blunt ends (not included), or pointed axle wheel sets, like NWSL, Kadee, Micro Scale, etc., that may be used with slight modification, see instructions. 5 foot 0 inch wheel base, 3 foot gauge, composite metal and wood, with outside brake beams. Various wheels sizes from 26 to 30 inches in diameter were standard until 1920, after 1920 all operating cars received 26 inch wheels. This model kit has scale 26 inch diameter wheels. A cross car bolster with out board bearings, as applied to Passengers Cars after 1920, is supplied as an additional part. We are often asked "where are the bolsters on the cars?". The answer is they are flush with the bottom sheathing and not exposed. For earlier cars, without the out board bearings, substitute one or more fiber washers to get correct coupler height. See photos for parts and completed truck. Gray painted ones are for detail, correct color is Pullman Green to match car sides, or Silver for post '50's D&RGW and post '81 D&SNG. Sold as a pair with plastic wheels and axles. Easy assembly with styrene cement.
