Not sure I have ever seen a photograph of one of these. I am hoping Ken Wulfert will educate us and me on the trucks. Best Regards,
The Frisco Express Reefer, 492, was built during 1911 by American Car and Founder (AC&F). The Frisco installed steel sheathing over the wood siding during 1940-1941. The cars rode on General Steel Casting (GCS) Commonwealth trucks.
Karl is correct. Walthers, and I think Athearn, make a good version of the General Steel Castings (GSC) Commonwealth truck in HO. They were viewed as being better at high passenger speeds than freight style trucks. Ken
Thank you, gentlemen. I suspect I either have drawings of this and its ilk in the workshop or that I can find them online here. I am woefully deficit in my truck knowledge. What I think I need are flashcards like the aircraft and ships identification cards used in the war. Thanks again for the information! Best Regards,
Chris, That is a really good idea. I am the same! By the time I see a photograph, try and look for the truck, I forget what I am looking for!
