Pullman Type 242 Trucks

Most modelers are familiar with Pullman six-wheel trucks, which are found under virtually all heavyweight Pullman cars, including sleepers, lounges, and diners, as well as many railroad-owned heavyweight cars. In O Scale 2 Rail, most trucks modeled are drop (or bottom) Equalized trucks. However, 25% of the Pullman fleet, as well as many railroad-owned passenger cars, utilized top-equalized trucks.

Wit and Wisdom is proud to offer the Pullman type 242 top-equalized trucks in Traditional O Scale (5′ Gauge). These models are of the highest quality. They are sold as a pair of two trucks. They are cast in lost wax brass, fully sprung suspension, have metal wheels, blackened side frames, and very detailed. Features include spring equalizers, ball-bearing axles, and opening journal box covers. 

These are from the final run of Korean passenger trucks. They are not cheap, at $179.99/pair plus shipping. Only 30 pair available. First come, first serve. When they are gone, they are gone. To get your pair, please visit our shop here.
