Don Ritchie 3/4" scale trucks?
Does anyone know if Don Ritchie is still selling 3/4" scale trucks?
Re: Don Ritchie 3/4" scale trucks?
Don sold the patterns to Jim Abrams. Jim has castings available ,to my knowledge. They were originally developed by Bull Van Brocklin. Jim is on Facebook and here as well.

Yes! this is correct. Jim has them in Iron. They are a very sturdy 3/4" truck, easy to build and assemble.

It looks like I will be there on Friday and Saturday.
I'm trying to get my 3/4" Atlantic running to bring with me.

One of the two Atlantics built by Ralph Francis? Both were called "The Canuk".steamingdon wrote: ↑Fri Jun 14, 2019 6:09 am Very good to hear, see u there with that jumbo Atlantic. Built in Canada if I remember correctly. ? Francis was secretary of MLS for a good long while also.
That would be great to see back on the MLS rails.
