Santa Fe FT Locomotives Wheel Journals Updated 1-5-2011
The FTs were delivered with Blomberg slope style truck journals (right). They were replaced as needed with the square type (left). It is common to see these styles mixed on locomotive in operation. The Stewart HO models are delivered with one square type on each truck, presumably for the attachment of a speed recorder and all others of the slope style. If you wish to move them around, Detail Associates has square (229-2805) and slope (229-2806) styles available. Details West also makes the square (235-288) and slope (225-289). |
