Alco trucks for a GP7/9?

[12bridge]

Howdy all,

I want to put Alco trucks under a GP7 or 9. Anyone know what combo might work? Atlas trucks/engine or a Proto combination? Or am I gonna have to do some bashing? I browsed through atlas but it does not look like anything will work together.

Thanks,
Paul

Only prototypical application that I can think of are the Alaska Railroad GP7u's.

I can tell you for 100% fact that Proto 2000 Alco trucks as found under their FA's will fit the GP7/9/18/20/30 frame. Whichever variant you have, whichever chassis you have, all have the Athearn clone trucks and will accommodate the Alco trucks.

Atlas GP7's can be retrofitted with Atlas or Kato AAR Type B trucks. They use the Kato-type mounting.

Thanks guys! The proto combination worked! Just need to rewire the trucks.
