<DIV>If you go to this web site and click on the 41-BNO-11 link, you'll see a
picture of the outside swing hanger truck that was on the N&W model I
saw. I think the N&W T89 is a 41-N-11, same as the picture in the
link, from what I could find quickly. That's encouraging, as a changeout
should be a snap if you're so inclined..</DIV>

Date: Friday, March 6, 2009, 3:51 PM<BR>> Trucks that match the T89 are
easy to find, as they were the<BR>> common type modeled earlier (Rivarossi,
MDC, ConCor,<BR>> etc...even Walthers did them). The problem will be
finding<BR>> trucks that fit where the Rapido ones were. (May turn out
to<BR>> be easy - I have not examined a car, but I know the
Walthers<BR>> line has a distinctive mounting system. Fortunately,<BR>>
Walthers makes two kinds of trucks and the mountings are<BR>> alike).

<BR>> Thanks for the repsonses. Close as they are I am<BR>>
interested in continuing this pursuit. I may just end up<BR>> getting undec
and going from there. Dave, you mention the<BR>> trucks, are there any
commercial trucks that are available<BR>> that match, or closely match that
of the T89 truck that<BR>> those cars rode on?<BR>>

<BR>> I see that Rapido is offereing N&W
Smoothside<BR>> passenger cars of various type. I've seen other<BR>>
roadnames from Rapido, so I know the quality. I'm<BR>> wondering how
accurate they are to N&W? Color aside,<BR>> which is always a hot topic
with this group and with the PRR<BR>> group, are teh cars done as a
close-enough on prototype or a<BR>> dead-on match, i.e. window arrangements
and so-forth?<BR>> <BR>> I'm
looking at getting some coaches for an NS<BR>> excursion and business
train.<BR>> <BR>>
