#570 Barber® S-2 70-Ton Self Centering Trucks with 33" Smooth Back Wheels - HO Scale
"HGC" Two Piece Fully Equalized Trucks

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.

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.

"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.
