The Home Machinist!

Gents, I am badly needing 2 1/2" trucks. I know of roll models, Tom artzburger, and plum cove studios. Any others?
Bought some como roundhouse castings a few years ago, the castings were bad and unfortunately Rudy passed before i could get things resolved. Any pointers in the right direction? Thanks

Thank you Brian. Email him two weeks ago with no reply. Suppose I need to call.

Let me know if you have success ordering from him. The trucks are just what I need as well for some up-coming projects.

Nice trucks, iffy service.

Jon

Iffy service is right. I order some stuff from Craig, and it took several months to get it.
If your in a hurry, get them from someone else.

Tim

Thanks folks. I have wheels and axles. I'm just going to order kits minus wheels and axles from rmi.

I can't see waiting months

Have you tried Real Trains?

Costs a bit more... But I think they are turning out a quality product.

I have read of stories where folks are having big trouble getting items from real trains.

I'll just get kits minus wheels and axles from rmi. Thanks folks

There is a guy from Missouri that advertises on DLS. $495 a pr. Anyone ever bought his?
They are not true arch bars but look good.

Oops, sorry I just saw this reference above.

Don't confuse "Real Trains" with "Roll Models." Both are in CA.
