N-scale Harriman Coaches!

We are delighted to bring you a new batch of N-scale Harriman Coaches with all new car numbers and a number of new paint schemes. If you are railroading south of the border, check out FCP in two schemes and NdeM in traditional dark olive with red stripes.   During the period of '60's, as some of you know, Nde M carded big time U.S. steam locomotives such as NYC Niagara 4-8-4 or FEC 4-8-2 USRA class engines pulling coaches such as these. A railfan delight! Relive this fun with Wheels of Time Harriman coaches. They feature metal 36" wheels, knuckled couplers, all the rivets to your heart delight, arched roof with vents, full interior, nicely detail underframe according to Common Standard designs, and nicely weighted for smooth operation!  Check them out. Orders due by April 29th!  

Other roads include - WP MOW, Union Pacific TTG, Southern Pacific dark olive, Southern Pacific Lines / T.& N. O., S.P. ALL-DAY Lunch cars and for the truely creative undecorated!

Gravity & the RR truck

In researching Wheels of Time next prototype, I've stumbled across this photograph of a 100-ton truck. Notice the truck is only connected by gravity and a rod (bolster pin) to the railroad carbody frame.
