Trucks for riding cars
Whose trucks are clubs using for riding cars for pulling the public? I would like to hear both positive and negative comments.
Thanks,

On the club T cars we use Tom Bee's Bettendorf trucks with the 1000 lb springs. The members cars are a mix of Morris, Mountain Car/Titan, Railroad Supply and some unknowns.

I know for our public train we have a mix of MCC and Tom Bee. The public train guys had issues with the original Mountain Car Co... trucks (Now Titan), but these were early trucks. At some point in their history, changes were made to the original design which made them much more flexible. Their current trucks are excellent. All of my cars have MCC/Titan trucks and I've never had any issues with them. $.02
