Hi Guys:

can someone tell me other than the:

"C" trcuk-6 wheel as in the Super 630 and GG-1
and the
"B" truck-4 wheel as in the Shark and also the 430?
what other truck type is there that uses the PT motor?

Thanks,
Gareth

PT C truck sideframes:

- EMD Flexi-coil (SD24)
- "Vampire" (630, late DS24, E7, GG1)

PT B truck sideframes:

- EMD Blomberg (F-units, GP20)
- AAR (?) (Alco C430)


These sideframes are ALL INTERCHANGEABLE ON ANY MODEL, say from 1978 on. There was a revision in the way the truck caps were attached from the first PT units of the mid-70's, till about 1977. All early trucks would be interchangeable as well. It's the mount that counts.

Mantua-motor sideframes (cut off) will NOT fit. They are smaller.


Additional "two axle" PT frames:

- Switcher diesel
- Tender-drive steamer
