TMW-009 Barber Lateral Motion 50-ton Trucks less Wheelsets
The Barber Lateral Motion device used steel rollers and a roller seat between the bolster and springs to provide a little side-to-side movement of the car body to the track, resulting in a smoother ride. U-section trucks with this feature were manufactured from the early 1920s to the late 1930s. Railroads that used this style of truck included ATSF, B&O, CB&Q, CN, CP, CV, CofG, C&NW, C&EI, ERIE, DL&W, GTW, IC, MP, NP, RI, SL-SF, SP, T&NO, T&P, UP, and WP. Also PFE and SFRD.
These trucks feature one-piece black acetal plastic moldings with separate brake shoe detail. This item does NOT include wheelsets.
