Walthers Trucks

Updated 1-21-04

There has been a lot of discussion on the internet concerning the trucks used by the ATSF. Below are photos of the Walthers Trucks with some comments. Some modelers have been exchanging trucks based on their era.


41CDO-11

This truck was provided on the Budd Baggage car, Budd RPO, and the 46 seat coach.

John Fiscella reports, "41-CS-11(CIB) were the "original equipment" trucks (on the Pine sleepers). They were upgraded, probably in the late 50's or 60's, to 41-CDO-11(CIB), outside-swing hanger trucks, on most Pine-series 10-6 cars."


41HR-11

This truck was supplied on the 6-6-4 and 4-4-2 PS sleepers.


41-CS-11

A third truck has been produced by Walthers and is on the Santa Fe Pine cars as released in January, 2004. The trucks "have a plain equalizer, which would be correct for the obs, diner, and dorm Super Chief cars Walthers will be doing" (John Fiscella).
