Modifying and installing Bachmann plastic trucks<br />
The Bachmann truck on the left is a<br />
standard freight car truck with the coupler<br />
bracket sawn off at the bolster. The<br />
Bachmann truck on the right is the<br />
modified truck with added brake beams<br />
and the wheel flanges have been turned<br />
down to a lower profile, similar to the<br />
Sierra Valley wheel sets found on the<br />
Hartford Products trucks.
