HO & N Alco Hi-Ad Trucks from Cutting Edge Scale Models

[nyamodeler]

Cutting Edge Scale Models is proud to present a brand-new product in both N and HO scales; the alco hi-ad (high adhesion) truck. This sideframe style was used on a small number of C415, C420, C425, and C430 locomotives, among others. Used in both freight and passenger service, this truck is truly versatile.

The HO Scale version features fine spring detail and accurate geometry from official alco drawings. Requires brake cylinders to complete.

The N scale version features accurate geometry with 3-D spring detail and the curves of the prototype. Requires brake cylinders to complete.

Looks great, what trucks do you mount them on?

[nyamodeler]

They should work on Blomberg or AAR-B, anything with a 9' 4" wheelbase and 40" wheels.

Ah, not Blomberg then. Those have a 9' 0" inch wheelbase.

(Although if you split the difference, it might be hard to tell.)

I'm assuming the modeler has to devise their own method of mounting? (Would make sense, as everyone seems to be just that much different to prevent anything from being universal.)

[nyamodeler]

Yes, that is correct. some styrene should make for easy mounting, especially if you are using something like the stanton drive.
