Keystone Details announces an N Scale 8 pack of PRR Class 2E-F2 100 ton "Crown" freight trucks were used on the following PRR freight car classes; F25, F25b, G22, G22a, H21a, H21b, H25, H22a, FN, and FNa.

These trucks are designed for the 0.540" x 33' wheelsets of your choice.  Some light cleaning by hand in the axle point pockets with a Dremel 105 engraving bit after print cleaning may be required for smooth rolling characteristics.  A Micro-Trains bolster pin will fit the bolster hole in the truck for mounting under your model.

The trucks can be purchased here.

I placed an order for two sets of eight to try them out.  I am very interested to see how they look under the Bowser H21a's.  Thank you for making them available.

PRR Class 2E-F2 100 ton "Crown" freight truck

These are 70 ton trucks, right?

Well I think you are correct @Mark5 ,

The PRR had three "crown" trucks.

-The 2D-F2 has 5'-6" spacing and is a 50T truck:


-The 2E-F2 which has a 5'-10" axle spacing and is a 70t truck:


-And the 2F-F1, (which appears visually to be the same as the 2E-F2 with the same axle spacing and spring arrangement and i suspect simply had higher capacity springs) is a 90T truck:
