Barber-Bettendorf Swing Motion Caboose Trucks

HO scale.  1 Pair.

This version of the swing motion caboose truck was manufactured from 1935 to the late 1950s. Originally a proprietary product of the Bettendorf
Co., in 1942 the manufacturing rights were acquired by Standard Car Truck
Co., who then added their trade name “Barber” to this truck’s name. The
prototype had 4¼ X 8” axle journals (30 ton capacity), plain bearings and a
5’-6” wheelbase. Over forty railroads used this caboose truck.

Tahoe Model Works trucks feature one-piece black acetal plastic moldings with separate brake shoe detail, and non-magnetic, insulated metal RP-25 contour wheelsets.
