This was a freight-sized truck meant for high-speed service, as in passenger trains. I've never heard that it was a smooth rider. Eventually, weaknesses or wear developed, and the ICC banned them from interchange; most were replaced by newer designs that looked like Bettendorf sideframes with various and varied systems of snubbers and shock absorbers. However, the Allieds are too fascinating to ignore, so run 'em and enjoy'em.> > Randy Brown Symington Gould (crysler) comes to mind but question is when? were they changed but for models theres no Model RR FRA lol > --------------------------------------------------------------> I haven't been following all of the dialogue on the express cars so I don't know if this was addressed: These cars have very unusual trucks.> > Ed Montgomery> > > The Erie Lackawanna Mailing List> Sponsored by the ELH&TS> http://www.elhts.org> To Unsubscribe: http://lists.elhts.org/erielackunsub.html _________________________________________________________________ Put your friends on the big screen with Windows Vista® + Windows Live™. http://www.microsoft.com/windows/shop/specialoffers.mspx?ocid=TXT_TAGLM_CPC_MediaCtr_bigscreen_102007 The Erie Lackawanna Mailing List Sponsored by the ELH&TS http://www.elhts.org To Unsubscribe: http://lists.elhts.org/erielackunsub.html ------------------------------
