70-Ton A-3 Trucks

HO scale.  1 Pair.

American Steel Foundries’ A-3 Ride Control truck was arguably the most successful design ever.   Plain bearing versions were manufactured from the mid 1940s to the mid 1960s.  The 70-ton trucks featured a 5’-8” wheel base and 6” X 11” journals.  Examples of 70-ton capacity cars built during this era were 3-bay hoppers, 2 and 3-bay covered hoppers, mill gons and some flat cars.  Railroads that bought this truck included: AA, ACL, ATSF, B&M, B&O, C&EI, C&O, CofG, CB&Q, CGW, CNJ, CNW, CRR, D&H, D&RGW, DL&W, DT&I, EJ&E, Erie, GM&O, GN, IC, KCS, L&N, LV, Monon, M&StL, MEC, MILW, MKT, MP, N&W, NC&StL, NH, NKP, NP, NYC, P&LE, PFE, PM, PRR, RI, SAL, SL-SF, SOO, SP, SP&S, SSW, T&NO, T&P, UP, Wabash, WM and WP.
