#558 Barber® S-2 70-Ton Self Centering Trucks with 33" Smooth Back Wheels - HO Scale
Metal Fully Sprung Equalized Trucks

Mounts with Kadee Self Centering bushing on a flat surface with a #2 or 2-56 screw or without the Kadee Self Centering bushing on a 0.140" or smaller molded on truck post secured with the original screw.

Introduced in the late 1950’s - Used in interchange even today.

The Barber S-2 70-ton Roller Bearing truck is a logical development from the original friction bearing truck first introduced in the 1940's. Our truck is based on a prototype built in 1967, however, the basic design was first introduced in the late 1950's. The sturdiness of the Barber® S-2 truck is evidenced by the forty plus years it has rode the rails to date. A careful observer will spot these trucks in interchange use today. This truck can be used under almost any pre-1970 built 70-ton rolling stock.

The Bettendorf Double Truss Truck was introduced in the 1930's by U.S. railroads and was allowed to be used in interchange service through 1993. The Kadee® #500, #502 & #550 represent 50- ton trucks for 100,000 pound cars.
