FT-200 Roller Bearing Trucks Five great facts about the "Bowser Bucklers" from Full Throttle:
|
The appearance of the Roller Bearing truck is highly prototypical in many ways. In addition to accurate detailing and a correct wheelbase, the bolster plate is not flush with the top of the truck, but instead sits lower than the side frames—just the way it is on a real truck. With their accurate proportions, the Bucklers don't look too small beneath the car! Altogether, these attributes will give all of your Z Scale rolling stock a very convincing impression. Perhaps the most significant feature is the metal wheelsets. These wheels will deliver
outstanding performance in every way. For starters, you'll be able to pull up to twice as many cars with the same locomotives! Their
tracking is superior thanks to their greater weight, as well as their unique flange profile: the flanges are slightly thicker yet
shallower, and there's a fillet between the wheel tread and the flange, which helps keep the truck centered on the track. In addition,
there's less dirt build-up on metal wheels, and the sound is very "trainlike" as they traverse the track.
"Bowser Bucklers" come packaged in the familiar Full Throttle clear plastic cases, which when empty are handy for Z Scale parts storage!
