Kadee 1573 HO Code 88 Vulcan Self Centering Trucks 33″ Ribbed Wheels (Pair)

Description

This is a Kadee 1573 HO Code 88 Vulcan Self Centering Trucks 33″ Ribbed Wheels (Pair).

The Self-Centering Action trucks self align themselves parallel with the car for easier placement on track. Mounts with a #2 or 2-56 screw. The Vulcan truck was introduced in the 1920’s as another replacement for the Arch bar truck. The Vulcan design incorporated a pin which held the journal box in place. Removal of the pin allowed the journal box to be quickly replaced. This truck lasted to the end of the steam era on mainline railroads and somewhat longer on logging railroads and short lines’ maintenance equipment where cars didn’t leave the owner’s property. HGC or High Gravity Compound, weighs nearly the same as Metal Trucks but with more detail & a 2 piece split bolster design for more efficient truck equalization, reduced axle friction for greater rolling performance.
