Description
This is a Kadee 1571 HO Code 88 Andrews HGC Self Centering Trucks 33 Ribbed Wheels (Pair).
The Self-Centering Action trucks self align themselves parallel with the car for easier placement on track. Mounts with a 2 or 2-56 screw. The Andrews truck is also a turn of the century design that was long lived. Andrews trucks were made from 1910 through the 1930’s. It represents one of the first steps in the development of the modern freight truck with its cast frame. The journal boxes are bolted to the main frame. This truck was used through the end of the 1950 Ft.s although by that time was only used in lighter applications such as refrigerator cars. Andrews trucks are probably still used were logging railroads remain in operation. HGC or High Gravity Compound, weighs nearly the same as Metal Trucks but with more detail & a 2 piece split bolster design for more efficient truck equalization, reduced axle friction for greater rolling performance.
