Kadee #501 Arch Bar Trucks are made for HO scale model railroaders modeling period freight and maintenance-of-way equipment. Their metal, fully sprung equalized construction and 33-inch ribbed back wheels suit early-era rolling stock.

Product Details

  • Material: Metal, fully sprung equalized truck construction
  • Scale: HO
  • Wheels: 33-inch ribbed back wheels
  • Mounting: Uses a #2 or 2-56 screw; mounting screws are not included
  • Historical use: Typical of late-19th- and early-20th-century rail equipment. Arch bar trucks were allowed in interchange service until about 1941, while logging and industrial lines could use them beyond that period.

Modeling Notes

Use these trucks for period freight cars and maintenance-of-way equipment, including railroad, logging, and industrial subjects. They are a practical detail choice for layouts and rolling stock representing early 1900s railroad practice.
